CAN-SPAM Act of 2003: Legislative Context and Background

Read a random definition: emotional incapacity

A quick definition of CAN-SPAM Act of 2003: Legislative Context and Background:

The CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 is a law made by the government to stop people from sending spam emails. Spam emails are bad because they can trick people into giving away their money or personal information. The government made this law because they were worried about how much spam was being sent and how it was hurting people and businesses. The law says that people who send emails have to give you a way to say you don't want to get their emails anymore. The law also says that people can't lie in the subject line or pretend to be someone else when they send an email. The government knows that this law alone can't stop all spam, but it's a start.

A more thorough explanation:

The CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 is a law passed by the United States Congress to address the problem of spam email. The law provides a statement of Congressional Findings, which explains why Congress felt it was necessary to pass the law.

  • Spam email is a problem because it can be used to deceive people and steal their personal information.
  • Some spam emails are sent by people who want to sell products or services, but they use deceptive tactics to get people to open the emails.
  • Spam emails can be very annoying and time-consuming to deal with, especially if you receive a lot of them.

These examples illustrate some of the reasons why Congress felt it was necessary to pass the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003. The law was designed to address the problem of spam email by requiring senders to provide certain information in their emails, such as a valid physical address and a way for recipients to opt-out of receiving future emails. The law also prohibits certain deceptive practices, such as using misleading subject lines or disguising the source of the email.

I'm assuming then for status checking eventually that the school emails you that information once LSAC finishes processing?
babycat

Yep

I'm in a dual degree program that my undergraduate has where if you meet a gpa and percentile you can have your senior year be your L1 ! Cuts off a year of time and money and the partner was my top pick for law anyways. It all just worked out and since it's ED can't really apply anywhere else because the L1 transfers back to complete my degree. :)

God my mouth is burning so much
@babycat: A few things. I mean, for one, this is my fifth year of undergrad (graduating with a dual BA/MA), so I don't think academically I'm incredibly behind or anything. Beyond, that I've explored other fields, and for the very niche area of public interest work I am interested in, law is the only way I can make a substantiative difference so why not start now.
And also my other options just are not great. I could take a shit paying job at a think tank, I was offered a job at, but I don’t find the work interesting. Or I could continue in academia, getting a phd, but again just not especially interested in academic philosophy.
I would say more, but I am very close to doxxing myself if I haven’t already.

5th year at 19. That is amazing.

So you started when you were 14. Wow.
Dkk

I tried to find you but if still in school, other names pop up first. Do you drink alcohol? If not, you should start drinking to catch up to me. @texas
I started at 15
turning 20 this year
or well very beginning of next year

My best advice is to start learning wine and cocktails asap. Take the introductory and certified sommelier exam as soon as you hit 21.
Dkk
1:16
I could not find you with that information. You are still probably pretty safe. Though I did not use all my search engines or filters.
@Dkk: That is good. Granted I don't think being doxxed would be the end of the world, but who knows.
And, yeah, I have drinken a little bit over the last couple of years (what college student hasn't), but not a massive fan
Dkk

That is cus college people drink like idiots. I was not a fan at my first college and I did not start drinking until I was 22.5. The art of Sommelier stuff though is less about drinking and more about thought process. Kind of a puzzle like a logic game. Same with cocktails. You will love it if you hate college type drinking.

It's something to do outside of the things you mentioned, it is useful for networking, and it will help you in law school. It will help you find exactly what you want to do in law school.
