$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.

Sure, it's a "green" option, and maybe more convenient for customers who want to track their purchases, but it requires the customer to provide an email address, which might allow retailers to "learn a lot about a customer's preferences and buying habits".
