Zuckerman vs Zuckerberg

July 14, 2024

Ethan Zuckerman is a professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and a scholar of digital media.

56% Informative

The Supreme Court in 2021 made it easier for telemarketers to send these kinds of messages without your consent.

Text messages are also more likely to be checked immediately because of their implicit sense of urgency, unlike emails that go unread.

There are a few steps you can take to try to stem the SMS onslaught.

But as this vote nears the end, all that’s left to do is send our own final message: STOP. DECLINE. UNSUBSCRIBE. STOP.
