Are you suggesting that the U.S. produces a proportionally similar volume of spam traffic as Russia, China, India, Vietnam?
This actually makes sense. Or, at the very least, it wouldn't surprise me.
Another end game: some sort of ID is required to use anything (that ID being a local phone number, which can be tracked down to you).
All while we blame Russia and China, and say that their spambots and evil actions forced us to do this.
