A quick definition of Table 1: Overarching Anti-Spam Frameworks in the United States, Canada, and the European Union:

Table 1: Overarching Anti-Spam Frameworks in the United States, Canada, and the European Union

The purpose of this table is to provide a quick comparison of the main anti-spam laws in the United States, Canada, and the European Union. It shows whether the laws require people to opt-in or opt-out of receiving emails, who enforces the laws, and whether people can sue spammers. The table also indicates whether the laws override local laws and whether they require additional laws to be passed by individual states or countries. For more detailed information, please refer to the linked materials.

A more thorough explanation:

United StatesCanadaEuropean Union
CAN-SPAM Act of 2003Canadian Anti-Spam Law of 2010E-Privacy Directive (2002/58/EC)
Opt-OutOpt-InOpt-In
Federal Trade CommissionCanadian Radio-television and Telecommunications CommissionNational Regulatory Authorities
Only for “internet access service” providersYesDepends on Member State implementing legislation
Preempts most state laws relating specifically to commercial emailEstablishes minimum standards that provinces and territories may exceedDirects member states to enact implementing laws

The table above provides a quick comparison of the anti-spam frameworks in the United States, Canada, and the European Union. The table includes information on the laws, recipient opt-in versus opt-out regime, primary regulator, private right of action, and relationship to local law.

For example, the United States follows an opt-out regime, which means that companies can send commercial emails unless the recipient explicitly requests to be removed from the mailing list. In contrast, Canada follows an opt-in regime, which means that companies must obtain explicit consent from the recipient before sending commercial emails. The European Union also follows an opt-in regime, but the implementation of this regime depends on the member state.

Another example is the primary regulator. In the United States, the Federal Trade Commission is responsible for enforcing the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003. In Canada, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission is responsible for enforcing the Canadian Anti-Spam Law of 2010. In the European Union, each member state has its own national regulatory authority.

I told my family I won’t get any decisions until 2025 so they wouldn’t bombard me hahah
no i think there should be a Law School combine with all new drills except there is still the 40 yard dash
and a sub 4.5 gets you into any t14
LSAT can be one of the drills

So all the D1 athletes will get into a T-14. What else is new?
@TheAdoptedOne: that is called "Dean Poker Night" lol
@ClockworkBlue: I feel like most people could train for the 40 for the same amount of time as they do the LSAT and get close to sub 5 which would be equivalent to a 167+
this is like the schizophrenic posts JJK tik tok be putting out

if the country was run the same as Mich Law it would be a better place
Imagine if election night was run by an adcom? Like, "yep, we could get the results Friday, or June 2025."
imagine if it was like Berkley applications

I have no idea why people have so much beef w berkeley's app
I've been reading a bit about "herding," which is this idea that pollsters are making the race look tied so they look right no matter who wins.

Like... it's a more involved app but you don't have to do it? They're clearly trying to have some self-selection go on
I 100% agree with the self selection, I also am not even close to touching the medians there. However I think the huge PS plus the video and especially the very specific criteria for the why Berkeley essay is pretty crazy
