This is a good start in theory but not always a great deal for consumers. Some ISPs give away basic virus protection software but upon closer examination it’s merely a trial version that constantly nags users to purchase upgrades. Other ISPs charge additional monthly fees for special editions of brand-name anti-virus protection. To get firewall spyware and spam protection you have to pay even more. Usually when you do the math you’ll save money – and have a more robust product – if you buy it outright yourself. The people targeted by these limited ISP solutions are those unable – or just plain unwilling – to invest the time to find a better deal of which there are plenty if you know what to look for.

Ethics @ Work: New ‘spam’ law is one of the world’s strictest

The US model presents virtually no conflict here; in effect only fraudulent speech is sanctioned and this kind of speech does not require much protection.
