OT: The new total email scam from Yahoo... From John Esak...Call your congressman NOW!!! What shit!!!!

[Scott Shackelford]

What's really bad is that if you pay/subscribe for advanced E-MAIL from
Yahoo (so you can use POP3 and SMTP and extra Storage space) you STILL
get advertising on the web front-end on your E-MAILS. If you use a
E-MAIL client you don't but must people use the Web interface. In
addition to that, while you are using the web interface, you get ads all
over the place.

But doesn't that go against the CAN-SPAM (wasn't it called, or at least
nicknamed that?) act?  It doesn't label it as spam appropriately, and
there's no way for the recipient to "opt out" unless they stop talking
to their friends/relatives/coworkers that use the service.

Surely this violates that legislation on some level?
