They make a big deal about it in pharma in trainings and whatnot, but then they don't really seem to enforce it. Adobe providing catered box seats to a big game? No problem. Random director spending too much on an internal team dinner, problem. It's pretty strange.
Yeah i know quite a few people who have bought drugs online with crypto but don't trade/invest in it. For the majority of people it's just not on their radar.
It is both yes, and no. CAN-SPAM do only apply to electronic mail messages, usually shorten down to email. However...
In late March, a federal court in California held that Facebook postings fit within the definition of "commercial electronic mail message" under the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act ("CAN-SPAM Act;" 15 U.S.C. § 7701, et seq.). Facebook, Inc. v. MAXBOUNTY, Inc., Case No. CV-10-4712-JF (N.D. Cal. March 28, 2011).
There is also two other court cases: MySpace v. The Globe.com and MySpace v. Wallace.
In the later, the court concluded that "[t]o interpret the Act in the limited manner as advocated by [d]efendant would conflict with the express language of the Act and would undercut the purpose for which it was passed." Id. This Court agrees that the Act should be interpreted expansively and in accordance with its broad legislative purpose.
The court defined "electronic mail address" as meaning nothing more specific than "a destination . . . to which an electronic mail message can be sent, and the references to local part and domain part and all other descriptors set off in the statute by commas represent only one possible way in which a destination can be expressed.
Basically, in order to follow the spirit of the law the definition of "email" expanded, with traditional email like user@example.invalid being just one example of many forms of "email".
I used to think this until several instances of various neighbors getting drunk enough to shed the veil of souther hospitality and reveal how racist they are.
Plenty of people have radical thoughts and opinions, but are smart enough to keep it to themselves IRL
A use case isn't hard to imagine. You have a significant other whom you want to share credentials to some website with.
I have quite a few shared passwords in my "family" vault in Bitwarden. Utility websites (electric, gas, water, internet, etc), streaming services, banking, credit cards, mortgage, car payments, car insurance, Chewey (manage pet food auto ship), probably others.
This is a really bad analogy. If ads in the places you've mentioned physically slowed me down, interrupted what i was trying to do, and tracked my movements across the city, I absolutely would go to great lengths to avoid them. There would be major public outrage over it.
Case in point, magazines are more ads than content these days and I don't read them.
I prefer inferred types when available. Then an IDE and compiler can get together to provide further details when needed. Honestly f: MyStupidInterface = myStupidMethod(); doesn't tell me much more.
