Whether its CAN-SPAM compliant or not is irrelevant. Your definition of "legit" may not be mine. ISPs only need to answer to their paid subscribers, and in many cases I know, the subscriber can flip the filters off or on. If they don't like the spam policy, they are free to switch to another ISP. I have not heard many complaints from subscribers that not ENOUGH spam was getting through with any ISP I've ever used.
The law specifically states the ISPs can use any tool they want. They can block anyone they want for any reason.
SPAM is NOT free speech.
