I love that, but unfortunately CAN-SPAM is a US law, not a universal law.
Sure, but it applies to the many, many US-based tech companies. And I know Canada, Australia, and the UK have similar laws.
I have one-click no-login unsubscribe button at the bottom of all my emails. To even get an email you have to explicitly subscribe to something. (This is not a mailing list but notification system.) Yet I still get about 1 spam report a day. I am tempted to just deactivate anyone's account that reports as spam. Is there something else I'm missing?
1 spam report per how many sent emails?

I'd be interested in what the current best practice is for sending emails. For your case, do the emails start with an idiot proof line such as "This is the notification that you signed up for at example.com" ?
Content is very short and sweet.
My Gmail won't block linkedin spam no mater how much I click on "report spam".
Create a filter for linkedin and send it to your spam folder.

I would not interpret "visiting a single page" to mean one-click. Of course, I agree that one-click is the right way to do things.
I think "visiting a single page" means precisely one-click. Because once click takes you to the page. Any further action, even while you're on that same page, is an additional requirement, which is disallowed.
It's in violation of the CAN-SPAM Act You can’t charge a fee, require the recipient to give you any personally identifying information beyond an email address, or make the recipient take any step other than sending a reply email or visiting a single page on an Internet website as a condition for honoring an opt-out request. http://business.ftc.gov/documents/bus61-can-spam-act-complia...
So, if you're sending emails, please, please, put a 'I didn't sign up for this account' so I don't have to try and go to the site and reset their passwords and try to get the account deactivated.
Please just have a link to immediately disassociate my email (like Gmail does).
Linked-In has the spammiest email protocol out of any service I have ever used. Even after signing-in there is no one-click-to-unsubscribe button (they split it into about 12 scattered categories), and they create new categories periodically and opt you in to them. This is downright deceitful. Pro tip : change your email to one that you never use. It literally came down to doing this or deleting my Linked-in account-…
You can also create filters to manage such emails so it doesn't clutter you're inbox, but still lets you see them if you want.

The thing is, how do you even prosecute it? Where the company is based? Where the web servers are based? Where the email servers are based? Where it was served? The email client's server location?
