Yeah, spamming people who join Facebook groups is pretty low (unless through FB ads). I still think emailing reporters through their publicly provided email ad

I still think emailing reporters through their publicly provided email addresses is different.
- Spivak 11y agoWhy make an exception for ads? Sending millions of emails to people who did not solicit them is unethical and spam, but using an ad network to accomplish the same thing is okay?
- austenallred 11y agoBecause that's how the platform works, and you agree to that when you use the platform. If you want to debate whether ads in general are ethical, I'm really not about to have that discussion yet again; I'll let someone else take it and we can all argue the same points we always do for the millionth time.
- zo1 11y agoYou could argue the same of the email "platform", by virtue of individuals being "emailable" from anyone.
