In a way, yes. But it also can be viewed as "these types of spam are

influence, and you don't do it under 21, or you don't let other people
under 21 do it. Alcohol sellers are able to sell it under certain
provisions, but if they sell to minors, the feds'll come over and board
up the business, or at least they should.

No opt-in requirement is of course a fatal flaw. With verifiable
opt-in of course, it is no longer spam and is now a mailing list.
