$100,000 paid for alleged violations involving text messages under CASL

The case discussed is the latest in a series of enforcement related activity under CASL - see e.g. New CASL Ruling: CRTC Provides Guidance on B2B Messaging and the Due Diligence Defence - and serves as an important reminder that CASL applies to all commercial electronic messages, which clearly includes email, but also text messages.
