#casl — Public Fediverse posts

The government is repealing the private right of action under Canadian Anti-spam legislation. In non-legalese, your right to sue people and companies who send you spam will be repealed on December 31, 2025.

I bought something yesterday, chose to get an electronic receipt.

Now, I’m subscribed to a newsletter? I’m sorry, but no! I do not want your newsletter, I did not consent to it.

J’ai acheté quelque chose hier. J’ai choisi un reçu électronique.

Maintenant, je suis abonné à une infolettre? Je suis désolé, mais non! Je ne la veux pas votre infolettre; je n’y ai pas consenti.

Since reviving my LinkedIn account/profile last year, I regularly get cold-call sales emails (via regular email, outside of LinkedIn, but it’s obvious where they come from). This is #spam.

It’s also an illegal tactic, since I’m in #Canada, and #CASL (Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation) prohibits companies from sending me electronic messages without my consent.

Mark these messages as spam and never EVER do business with spammers.
