Tuesday political spam blocking plans?
Last presidential election I got more than one political text message spam per hour, which was getting incredibly annoying and distruptive. Also I got about one legacy landline phone call every 90 minutes. ALL DAY LONG.
My plan for this election is I have Mr Number on my phone and I'm hoping the spam sources will be blacklisted fast enough that I won't get spammed to death. I have no plan for the legacy landline, turn off the ringer and delete 10 voicemails on Wednesday, I guess.
I'd be interested to hear if anyone has some good technological ideas for spam blocking given whats likely to happen starting in less than 24 hours.
