District of Columbia

Read a random definition: assignment-of-income doctrine

A quick definition of District of Columbia:

The District of Columbia has laws that prohibit sending commercial emails with false information or deceptive subject lines, as well as the use of automated dialing or pre-recorded messages for commercial solicitation. Telemarketing fraud is also criminalized, and telephone solicitors must be registered. The Consumer Protections Procedure Act includes a prohibition of certain unlawful trade practices, but does not specifically mention spam email.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: The District of Columbia has enacted laws to regulate commercial email and spam, telemarketing and telephonic anti-solicitation, and unlawful trade practices.

The Spam Deterrence Act of 2008 prohibits sending commercial email with false identifying information or a false subject line, as well as the deceptive use of a third party's internet address, domain name, or other identifying information. This law is aimed at preventing spam emails that deceive or mislead recipients.

An individual sends an email advertising a product, but the email address and subject line are misleading and do not accurately represent the content of the email. This would be a violation of the Spam Deterrence Act of 2008.

The District of Columbia has banned the use of automated dialing or push-button telephone systems with pre-recorded messages for commercial solicitation or surveys. This law is aimed at preventing unwanted telemarketing calls that use automated systems to reach a large number of people quickly.

A company uses an automated system to call individuals and play a pre-recorded message advertising a product. This would be a violation of the law banning the use of automated dialing or push-button telephone systems for commercial solicitation.

The District of Columbia Consumer Protections Procedure Act includes a prohibition of certain unlawful trade practices, but none of them specifically include spam email. This law is aimed at preventing businesses from engaging in unfair or deceptive practices that harm consumers.

A business engages in false advertising, making claims about a product that are not true. This would be a violation of the District of Columbia Consumer Protections Procedure Act.

I mean, idk how it's possible to end birth right citizenship without amending the constitution because to me the 14th amendment is pretty clear about it.
ross ulbricht tried to hire a hitman to kill 5 people
i am not that sympathetic to him

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: That might have been an FBI agent. It was most likely him and he was most likely doing it to retrieve stolen funds that corrupt FBI agents stole, but yeah moral gray area but me personally, cool with hitmen. It's not like it is uncommon to hire hitmen. I don't think the action itself is necessarily wrong but the intent behind it can be.

Like, Boeing whistblowers being killed by hitmen = wrong but a guy hiring hitmen to retrieve stolen funds = good to me.

@Dkk: Yeah, for sure. My guess is it'll go to SCOTUS and it'll be 8-1 or 7-2, saying that EO was unconstitutional.
