Privacy and Advertising MailChris Jay HoofnagleUniversity of California, Berkeley - School of Law, Berkeley Center for Law & Technology Jennifer M. UrbanUniversity of California, Berkeley - School of Law Su LiUniversity of California, Berkely - Center for the Study of Law and Society December 3, 2012 Berkeley Center for Law & Technology Research Paper Abstract: In this paper, we consider why Americans may frame the generation and receipt of unsolicited advertising mail as a privacy violation. We then present data from our nationwide survey showing that a very large majority of Americans, across all ideologies, educational attainment levels, age, and income levels, support the creation of a do-not-mail mechanism similar to the popular Telemarketing Do Not Call Registry. We discuss our results in light of the fact that direct advertising mail now makes up more than half of all mailpieces sent by the United States Postal Service (USPS).
