Cloudmark’s 2015 Q1 Global Threat Report
The Q1 threat report from Cloudmark covers the impacts seen 6 months after the enforcement of Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL).
Last year Canada implemented one of the strongest anti-spam laws in the world, CASL. We took a close look at the impact, and the results surprised us. We saw a 37% reduction in spam originating from Canada, but it wasn’t just spam that went down. Over all, Canadians received 29% less email after CASL was implemented. We believe this is because there was a lot of marketing email which was not technically spam but did not meet the strong requirements for affirmative consent required by CASL.
