A "Do not Spam List" law would be a good idea. If it is legal for phone calls, it can also be legal for unwanted email.

Most spammers aren't too concerned with the law and would ignore a no-spam list, or worse they would harvest it for email addresses. |

Unfortunately, unlike the Phone list, one for the internet would be worthless. Why? Stop and think for while. What is one of the biggest differences between phone spam and internet spam?
Consider, Joe and Jane email spammer get told that the US passed a law saying no more spam to these addresses. So what do they do? Go to Mexico, or Canada, or the Bahamas, or etc. Heck, they do not even have to leave home to do that, just get an account opened. The Feds can't touch them because 1. They do not know they are US citizens, 2, What they are doing is not illegal in those jurisdictions, and 3. They are probably using zombies anyway.
The reason this does not happen with the phone? Cost to make international calls.

the Uni is a private network, they have every right to block what they feel the need to block to maintain its stability and security.
a violation of free speach would be the cops arresting someone for having a sign in their car window saying the president is doing a terrible job. a net admin blocking spam is a net admin protecting private property just as security guard does at the entry to the parking garage.
