With InMail you don’t have to accept the invitation to message with the person sender. With InMail if the receiver doesn’t respond then the , if they don’t the in mail is credited back to the account. So my guess would be that my excepting the message they are consenting to have a dialogue with you. It going to be interesting to see if this law will even be work able. Think about the issues -and how do you deal with it -I spoke to a prospect Friday and have a quotation -now we spoke and he would like to see a proposal -is that express consent -do I have to ask him permission to email it, how do I document it so that the government is happy with it.
Thanks for your valuable insights Colin!
In my opinion the question if you want to read or accept the message is secondary. There are many questions around this and I hope to answer them asap if I can. I would interpret your example as express consent. The question would be: how do you document verbal consent.
I think LinkedIn and all social networks might have to add “express consent” to their terms.
