Does that mean I can get my opponent's political campaign raked over the coals by sending some false-flag spam?
After all, the whole POINT of these spam messages is that the systems are (and this simply reeks of incompetence) incapable of determining the true source of the messages.
- ben174 5y agoExactly this. I thought this was common knowledge now. You can't ban a bad actor without truly knowing the source of content. Otherwise I can just sabotage my enemies.
- kevin_thibedeau 5y agoFederal law requires political media to truthfully identify their origin.
- macksd 5y agoFederal law requires a lot of things, but that doesn't mean people comply. Robocalls are already illegal. Soliciting people on the Do Not Call List over the phone is already illegal. Yet they happen daily for me.
- mcherm 5y agoAre you saying that Federal law requires Verizon to truthfully identify the origin of spam text messages I receive? Because they are CLEARLY not doing that.
