CAN-SPAM Act of 2003: Role of the Federal Trade Commission

Read a random definition: Motion In Limine

A quick definition of CAN-SPAM Act of 2003: Role of the Federal Trade Commission:

The CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 is a law that tells people who send emails for business what they can and cannot do. If they break the rules, they can get in trouble with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which is the group that makes sure people follow the law. The FTC can also make new rules to help enforce the law. The law also says that the FTC has to tell Congress about how well the law is working and if there are any new ideas to make it better. Two of the ideas they looked at were making a list of people who don't want to get spam emails and giving rewards to people who help catch spammers.

A more thorough explanation:

The CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 is a law that sets rules for commercial emailers to follow when sending spam. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is responsible for enforcing these rules and making sure that emailers do not engage in unfair or deceptive practices.

For example, if an emailer sends spam without providing a way for recipients to unsubscribe, they are violating the CAN-SPAM Act. The FTC can take action against them and impose penalties.

The FTC also has the power to create rules and regulations related to the CAN-SPAM Act. For instance, they have established rules that require emailers to include a physical address in their emails.

Additionally, the FTC is required to submit reports to Congress about the effectiveness of the CAN-SPAM Act. For example, they have studied the potential usefulness of a "Do Not Email Registry" and a "bounty" system for catching spammers.

I have not had a date change either for Mich but I've seen people get in without one so who knows
I applied 9/25 to like 6 schools and some (Houston) have no date change yet so dw

But do people get in without addresses going long?
WorthlessAttractiveZombie

The "date changes" at Michigan really don't mean anything. We had to do them in undergrad admissions whenever a Georgia applicant picked the country instead of the state, because we'd have to remove the TOEFL requirement and reassign the application from the international application readers.

Classy, does that mean they may look at your application, and that look doesn't necessarily trigger any date change?

@soapy: I don't know for sure about the law school. For undergrad, once the application is complete, it's assigned to a reader the following Monday. If we had to make any changes, it's because a reader saw something that needed to be changed and the application needed to be re-read after that change.

Ahh, got it. Thank you for the insight!

You're welcome. FWIW, I have no idea what's up with the address changes. We didn't have to do any of that, except for the Georgia state vs country kinds of things.

I've heard it theorized that some schools will change the address from "St." --> "Street" as they prepare to send out admissions packets. That's the rumor, anyways.
