Sure but I have a dozen emails just today from "email marketers" that I never gave my information to and never opted into. Why should it require active effort on my part to avoid not receiving more of what I don't want?



Email is a decentralized, protocol-based communications channel. Anyone can send you an email. Getting some spam does not mean that everyone who sends email must therefore be a spammer.


No, but the people who send unsolicited emails for the purpose of marketing are definitely spammers.
