Why is it that we call useless information on the intraweb spam?
I don't see the link between a pork based food and useless information.
Is it an Acronym?

Those are backronyms. Wikipedia has a better explanation of the etymology of the term.

hmm ok
this?
The term spam is derived from the Monty Python SPAM sketch (see video in External Links), set in a cafe where nearly every item on the menu includes SPAM luncheon meat. As the server recites the SPAM-filled menu, a chorus of Viking patrons drowns out all conversations with a song repeating "SPAM, SPAM, SPAM, SPAM... lovely SPAM, wonderful SPAM," hence "SPAMming" the dialogue. The excessive amount of SPAM mentioned in the sketch is a reference to British rationing during World War II. SPAM was one of the few foods that were widely available.
