I Replied 'Stop' to a Political Text Message. I Got 100 More

In the past 3 weeks I blocked, no exaggeration, about 350 of these same text messages. They’re almost all for republican fundraisers, and almost always either unscrupulous or borderline fraudulent. Stuff like “50X match if you donate now!”, or “our records indicate you’re voting for Kamala. Click now to set the record straight!”. Sending “Stop” or marking as spam does nothing of course, so I had to get a blocker app. I did finally click on a couple out of curiosity (how much worse could the spam get) and they use every dark pattern there is to try to force a recurring donation. I don’t really get how it’s worth it, but I guess some people must go for it.

I never respond to those. Any response is an acknowlefgement they have a person on the other end and that’s to become a target for a deluge of crap. I just mark them as junk and never respond. Im not willing to provide any info to the spammer.

I remain convinced you can generate cheap power by having everyone in your neighborhood donate small amounts of money to a wide variety of non-profits, and burn the resulting flood of mail.

A few weeks ago I got fed up and replied STOP to every political text in my inbox. It worked, because I&#x27;d forgotten about their existence until seeing this title.<p>I guess my number never got to the less scrupulous actors in this space?

I had no idea Apple supports third-party apps that can filter messages.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.apple.com&#x2F;legal&#x2F;privacy&#x2F;data&#x2F;en&#x2F;sms-filtering&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.apple.com&#x2F;legal&#x2F;privacy&#x2F;data&#x2F;en&#x2F;sms-filtering&#x2F;</a>

I don&#x27;t understand the strategy from the election spammer here. They clearly want the recipient to vote&#x2F;donate. But if someone spends time to type &quot;STOP&quot; instead of ignoring, he has clearly read the message and not interested in the solicitation. Then why spam this particular number? The more flood the more he hates you, the less he&#x27;s gonna to anything positive to you. It is a extremely low quality &quot;live number&quot; for the campaign, and waste of money.

I like how the generated response after a “stop” is “You will not receive any more messages from this number.” Where they turn around and send you a message from a different number. How about a “take me out of your database” option?

I didn’t even realise these existed. Living in the UK, I’ve never received a single unsolicited text message from a political party or any kind of campaign. I wonder why there’s such a difference…

Google Fi, works great to stop spamming.<p>I have donated and shared my tel no, and had to stop 4x. That is it this season.<p>Checking my spam folder for texts, it has several, not hundreds, so is not as bad as others here.

My favorite bit of honesty is when I started to get texts from ‘We won’t stop calling, we won’t stop texting’. Those are some balls.

I unsubscribed from the entirety of the Republican party. Their batshit crazy scam spam stopped for a day and then resumed in full force.<p>Constant spam begging for money from every looney congress critter you can name. Unbelievable.

I replied, &quot;Stop the lies!&quot; and they quit. Maybe coincidence though.

This is straight out of the spammer&#x27;s playbook. If you complain, they just send you more. Really abusive, and one of the lesser reasons why people hated spammers. &quot;Once a spammer, always a spammer&quot;.

I see very little of this, and I believe it&#x27;s because Google&#x27;s service (Pixel phone on Google Fi) is filtering them. I see messages every day about calls and texts being blocked as spam. Some are undoubtedly regular spam, but I see it much more recently, and I bet it will decline rapidly next week.<p>Yeah, I know that I&#x27;m selling my soul to Google to be so deeply embedded in their ecosystem. But there are definitely perks.

I’d like to see a 1 cent tax on emails. I’d be happy to pay it and it would stop all the spam.
