When it comes to the palatial pile of anti-spam poop that is CASL, only yes means yes, dahrlings.
Implied consent is a slippery slope. God knows I dropped assenting hints the size of Robbie’s balls on the Fairmont concierge last night, and he just kept exclaiming “Oh my, you seem to have dropped your key card again. Here you go!” But when I actually had lost it, the busboy showed up while I was in the shower. Do I look like I do busboys?
You see what I mean.
Then there’s explicit consent whereby the concierge would have to opt-in to receive me. I mean, I would opt-in to receive him. Anyway, it’s not implied.
The good news is that travel’s e-blasting machine will come to a screeching halt come July 1, dahrlings. We’ll all be spared the mounds of flyers, offers, specials and tourist board messages that clog up our inbox worse than Mama Gabbalot’s kasha dumplings can clog up your outbox.
Unless you’d like to keep getting weighty news such as the Micronesian Tourism Board being open for business. Feel free to opt-in.
Remember, only yes means yes, Pumpkins.
Which unfortunately, dear Pumpkins, also applies to your clients. So if you aren’t ‘compliant’ yet – you have less than 2 weeks to get there. (The stuff of big brother sci-fi, don’t you think? ‘You must be compliant. Noncompliance will not be tolerated.’)
There’s been an awful lot of tsk tsk’ing and hand wringing on the CASL front, dahrlings, by many. But, although I hate to say it, only the dinkettes have done anything concrete to fight it. As far as I know. (And, as many of you know, it pains me to have to give credit to those fashionless old biddies, dahrlings.)
So here it is – the only fighting tool I can offer up – the CASL petition. You can sign it, or keep complaining. And I say that in the nicest possible way.
CASL PETITION – Sign It!
