Once you add spam to this list, it becomes super fuzzy. Unsolicited marketing is obviously spam and so are the Nigerian scams, but what about some cult manifesto or conspiracy theory or chain mail letter? Or possibly a crowdfunding link that some well meaning, but misguided people sent around a few thousand times? Or possibly a request for donations by some non-profit? Propaganda posts by a political party? Where is the line?
- gonational 7y agoWhy would a “conspiracy theory” be considered spam? A chain mail letter might be spam. A “cult manifesto” is probably not. I don’t think it’s too fuzzy, as long as companies don’t arbitrarily define “things we don’t like” as “spam”.
