The latest Pew Internet study is out and shows users are begrudgingly accepting spam as a fact of online life. Fifty-three percent of adult e-mail users in the U.S. say they trust e-mail less because of spam, down from 62% a year ago.

“This shows some level of tolerance that people are manifesting,” said Deborah Fallows, the study’s author. “Maybe it’s their getting used to it. Maybe it’s like other annoying things in life – air pollution, traffic – they are just learning to live with it.”
