Here in Australia, we have laws against spam texts and so we seem to get much less than America does. Guess who exempted themselves? Politicians. So stupid. They just annoy everyone and it’s not like it helps them to keep it legal. If it’s illegal for them, it’s illegal for their competitors, so it would come out in the wash.
In Australia Clive Palmer is famous for constantly sending out texts during his campaigns, people complain they got multiple per day. I wasn’t aware there was any law against it here, in fact I thought people had been saying it OUGHT to be illegal.
Politicians can do it. Companies can’t. It’s ridiculous. We have the laws in place. Just remove the exemption. Same with political advertising. Lots of exemptions that don’t pass the smell test.
