    Even in states where there are already such requirements, like California, I run into unsolicited subscriptions and their emails regularly – many with no unsubscribe method at all. Had one just this week. Enforcement is nonexistant for the (thousands? millions?) of such scam “subscriptions”.

    Does this mean all the newsletters and spam junk subscriptions I have that I didn’t sign up for have to auto cancel me?
