Abstract

Why this matters
The Unsubscribe Act would extend consumer-facing digital communication rules beyond the aging CAN-SPAM baseline, potentially setting new UX and response-time standards for opt-out mechanisms across email and other digital channels. For platforms and marketers, it foreshadows compliance work on unsubscribe flows; for users, it reflects continuing congressional attention to friction in disengaging from unwanted digital contact.
