Not valid analogies. Part of the problem with reducing
speeding and drug possession is that so many of the people are
doing them. If everyone were spamming, it would indeed be hard
to police it. But that doesn't seem to be the case. The
problem with policing spamming is different - it's too easy for
spammers to hide their tracks, e.g. with a botnet.
Lots don't.
If we got spam _reporting_ up to the same level of technical proficiency as
we carry out _filtering_, then the problem _might_ be reduced
significantly.
I don't think Sendgrid knows that it's spamming me for a get-rich-quick
scheme or Tinyurl that the same spammer uses it for his landing pages, I
don't think Rapidswitch (a small rent-a-server place) knows that a customer
is trying to swindle me (latest iphone 3€!!!).
So I a sunny optimist and believe that sendgrind, tinyurl and most hosters
mean well. I do wish I had some practical suggestions for how to make them
be well-informed as well as well-meaning.
