What is the name of your state? WA
Recently I received an email from the Mayor's office from a local town. The contents of the email is irrelevant, but what is relevant and what I am upset about is that my email address was made public in the "To:" field of whom the email was addressed to , along with about 100 other email addresses!
I know this email may not be a violation of our state's Anti-Spam Law, but is there some case to be made for the Mayor's Office to publicly announce my personal email address (and others) without permission?
The consequences now is that any of the 100 or so people who received this same email can now sell my email address to spammers and further clog my Inbox with spam!
I am extremely upset that these people did this when they could have put all the email addresses in the "Bcc:" field of the email sent out.
So my question is: "Do I have a Small Claims case against this action by the Mayor's office of the city or not?"
