    Lots of businesses use these important account update emails as marketing touchpoints because so many customers are opting out of all the other BS…

    Cyber awareness tips brought to me by Comcast and their new Triple Play Bundles are NOT CRITICAL ACCOUNT COMMUNICATIONS

      Yo, that’s still a violation of CANSPAM, and you might as well report them while we still have an FTC/FCC. After the new admin takes office… well… but theres still a month left before then.

      If their communication contains anything transactional it’s a violation. Notifying unsubscribed users of a TOS change? Legal. That communication mentions anything about products or promotions? No longer legal.
