There are some easy things they could to though.

Cory Doctorow had this exchange with them: https://twitter.com/doctorow/status/641660268720689152

If they gave you enough info to opt out effectively, people would do it. Also, then people could check up on them, checking the list of claimed "opt ins" for spam trap addresses. Giving the user that access would allow users to definitively catch spammers and mailing services in lies, and could lead to prosecutions under the CAN-SPAM act.
