Unsubscribe Act of 2025 (S2253)
Current understanding
The Unsubscribe Act of 2025 (S.2253) proposes new federal requirements for digital unsubscribe mechanisms, building on the existing CAN-SPAM framework for commercial electronic messages. It was introduced in the Senate and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. Practical effect on consumers (easier opt-out) and on senders/carriers (new compliance obligations for unsubscribe UX and honoring requests) will depend on the final scope, which currently sits at the introduced stage.
