CAN-SPAM Act of 2003: Legislative Context and Background

Read a random definition: commettant

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.

@texaslawhopefully: looking back, the Rs were freaking out saying Biden was going to end the country, and the Ds were freaking out during DJTs 1st term. Neither did exceptionally bad or good, IMHO. At the end of the day, the rest of the GOV (Judaical and Congress) really put a damper on grandiose executive plans. Finally, we all know Donnie is a talker: he anchors (ie tarrifs), he talks shit, he says he will do X and never does. news eats that shit up, but I think most will not ever come to pass

I really think it's a lot of political theater right now. I think a huge percentage of these EO's are just going to be shot down.

the news sells fear. that is their product (hence why u see COPD, heart meds, stress/ antidepressants adverts during primtime). We know trump has a big mouth, and when he opens it, he spews nonsense which gets funneled into ur ears- ratings skyrocket.
18:56
not COPD. my bad ^
dem messaging is lightyears behind MAGA messaging, part of this can be blamed on foreign governments boosting the MAGA party to destabilize the country, but the democrat old guard is so far behind MAGA strategy
18:57
@Dkk: exactly.
dems need to give way to modern leftists like AOC and bernie
18:58
@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: AOC is my crushhhh
Dkk

It's amazing cus in 2008/2012 people were even wondering if the Republican party was still going to be a thing and then yeah, MAGA just took over.
but unfortunately the left purity tests all of its members to death, for the left their candidates have to be perfect, for the right their candidates are basically forgiven for anything. it makes it a hard sell for upcoming talent to attach to the left wing when they will cancel their politicians for any perceivable social slight
texaslawhopefully
18:59
Yeah, unfortunately that happened in part with Harris and the far-Left
19:00
@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: see with takes like that, it is no wonder how you are called Knowledgeable Wasp
ie a lot of the left didnt vote for harris because they thought biden was too soft on israel for the I/P situation. but now they have trump who will literally hand netanyahu bombs to genocide palestinians
texaslawhopefully
19:01
And even on that issue, though, I thought Biden was very moderate, whereas the far-Left just had unrealistic expectations of where he was going to end up
yeah absolutely, and our modern left doesn't appreciate that if they eventually want their policies, their best bet is incremental progress, not a perceived revolution

So if you are 19, Trump won his first election when you were like 11. What were you doing at 11?
Dkk
19:03
This is just interesting for me to think about.

Wasp do you remember Clinton as president because I do not.
i hadnt developed sentience by 6 years old
19:07
@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: lmfao
@texaslawhopefully: actually that was a huge counter biden movement (and harris) re they were held hostage by party politics and any words otherwise were lies that would be walked back, like border action
The radical left views open borders as a human right
they deem us animals who migrate lmfao
Dkk
19:08
Okay, man so huh. I barely remember bush as a kid. I remember my parents complaining about him and telling me why they did not vote for him. I technically had bill clinton too but I would have been 3.
hence migrants
meanwhile you view brown people as aliens
Dkk
19:09
Man I am trying to remember what I was doing at 11. I think my family had just moved houses and I was going to a new school.
@windyMagician: yeah lol cant say shit about politics without someone jerking off about race realism
Dkk
19:11
@windyMagician: I think it's a pretty mainstream view from the right to view some of them as aliens and some as not.
