Yeah, this: https://www.unchartedblue.com/those-democratic-fundraising-texts-you-keep-getting-theyre-scams/
I’m very clear: when I get a political text (and I get a lot of them), I “stop” it (not “end”, that’s bullshit they use to confuse you about the fact that they are legally required to stop texting from that address if you say “stop”) *and* spam-block it.
More to the point, I’m very explicit: if I’m getting texted from your campaign, I am *less* likely to give you money.
The fact that donating to Democratic campaigns is *actively punished* (by selling your phone number to these spammers) probably reduces the amount I donate by quite a bit each cycle, simply because I get so turned off by the punishment.
It’s a stupid, counter-productive own goal by the Democratic Party as a whole, and they need to start teaching campaigns to stop playing along with this idiocy…
@jducoeur According to the FCC “stop” and “end” are to be handled identically (alongside “quit,” “revoke,” “opt out,” “cancel,” or “unsubscribe”). And I *believe* these are all typically handled by the service provider, so the sender doesn’t need to cooperate. https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/03/05/2024-04587/strengthening-the-ability-of-consumers-to-stop-robocalls
