"The Federal Trade Commission said Thursday it had filed eight lawsuits in federal courts around the country against companies it accused of ordering or engineering the sending of hundreds of millions of scam text messages to mobile phone users. "

The FTC does not have a problem with junk mail since the USPS is a corporation that promotes the practice. In fact, it supplements revenues and keeps the cost of regular mail down substantially. You would be paying $1 or more per stamp if it were not for junk mail.
