Please, I beg of you, in the name of all that does not suck, DO NOT MAKE THIS SERVICE!
It will be abused, people will spam, and others will be annoyed by the spam, and have to pay for the spam.
You have no economic incentive to take people off send-me-ads-lists. You will make money by the SMS, probably, or at least you'll charge incrementally, 100 some price, 1000 some more price, etc etc. It will be against your better monetary interest to accept "remove" requests, so you won't put any effort into the interface, you won't fix bugs, and you'll ignore any inquiry that isn't exactly correct, with well-formed sentences. You will make it easy to get a phone number ON the lists, since that is how you make money.
This is a recipe for disaster for the victims of your proposed service, and a moral disaster for your, as you will find yourself compromising your moral and ethical standards along the way. You will find yourself a near-criminal, universally loathed spammer within 2 years.
- wairagu 15y agoI hear you, but we will set standards that will be adhered to by employees who may be in a position to see a users phone number. Just like your ISP that has your email, but does it send you spam just because it has it? Google has my phone number, but they don't send me spam. because they have policies against those kind of things, that's what we aim to put in place. Maybe hard but we will. Just to reiterate, phoned numbers will be in our database, advertisers skill not get their hands on this db.
