Arizona social media attorney Ruth Carter explains the federal CANSPAM Act. This law regulates advertising emails in the U.S. If you send email advertisements, you must use an accurate header, a truthful subject line, inform recipients that the message is an ad, give your physical address, and make it easy for someone to unsubscribe from your email list.

If you violate this law, you could be reported to the Federal Trade Commission and face a $16,000 fine per email.

If you want to report someone for violating the CANSPAM Act, forward the email in question to [email protected].
