I believe this raises the issue of short-term solutions (such as filtering on 'click') for which spammers will eventually find turnarounds vs long-term solutions. But do we need really need long-term solutions if an update of filtering terms every year is enough to keep the pace? Also, does a long-term solution against spamming even exist? Since the Graham solution from 2002 doesn't seem to have been implemented yet, the answer is no?

Another issue is the carbon/energetic cost of spamming. I'm no expert, but given the probably high figures, should this issue be escalated to a higher level, e.g. an international agreement along with heavy penalty if caught running a larger spamming farm? Compared to the difficult issues of drug trafficking etc. I don't see how there could not be a consensus for spam.
