That applies to spam from an unknown sender, not a bona fide company you have a relationship with. Messages from Facebook about your account are hardly unsolicited. I don't think it's useful to call every email you don't like "spam".
- devrandomguy 9y agoIf the user didn't opt in to a notification, then by definition, it is unsolicited.

- wpietri 9y agoWhatever the fine-print legalities, if you didn't notice, I don't think it can count as opting in.
- majewsky 9y agoNo disagreement from my side, but that's how the law generally [1] works. [1] In Germany, there is a specific section of the public code governing ToS ("AGB-Gesetz", part of the BGB). Among other things, it forbids "unexpected" terms, acknowledging that people usually cannot read all the ToS that they have to agree to in practice. Quite a few ToS have been nullified by courts because of that rule.
