Comment on Email marketing regulations around the world

This is missing out a lot of subtleties that a legal team might care about.

I have been a part of multiple companies trying to make a "harmonized" global opt-in policy: basically figure out any set of marketing preferences where we could get away with collecting information without first knowing the user's country - even if that meant more conservative marketing opt-ins.

In each case, we could never figure out a single-method for collecting explicit opt-in that worked worldwide. The standout countries always being some combination of South Korea, Germany, Russia, or Brazil.
