@BrandonLive @marypcbuk CAN-SPAM is not a speech regulation; it is a commercial conduct regulation. It requires labeling and opt-outs, and prohibits certain frauds. It does not in any way ban spam, which would make it unconstitutional. You cannot google your way through this, you have to do the reading. — PolitiTweet.org

@BrandonLive @marypcbuk The second you leave the First Amendment behind, you’ve left it. Banning spam exceeds the gov’s authority under 1A. They’re not going to want lots of hate speech either, which is protected speech, that exceeds what the gov can do under 1A. The list is endless. — PolitiTweet.org
