Sorry, this is completely correct information if you don’t assume that the US in the only country in the world.

For example, Canada’s Bill C-28¹ explicitly prohibits it.

Looking at the full context of the quote is useful.

> This is really pushing the boundaries of the CAN-SPAM act. You're not allowed to send unsolicited emails.

The USA is not the only country in the world, but the CAN-SPAM act totally permits unsolicited emails, which is the context of this thread.
