Manchester biz raided in text message spam clampdown

Re: Delivery reports

Probably not!

Re: Now how about phone spam?

The Information Commissioner's Office has no powers over phone lines. The media are reporting that the ICO has blocked SIM cards, but someone else must have done this, because the regulator does not have any powers to do that.

Cops bust den of text-spam spewers

Doubt the cops were involved

Why would the police raid any premises in relation to spam text? A breach of PECR isn't a criminal offence (it's civil), so surely the headline is, well, nonsense? It's the ICO who did the press release, and they don't mention cops anywhere.
