Unwanted advertising is spam. Period.
A lot of junk mail landed in my mailbox when I moved to a new place, until I put a red dot sticker on it. Within a week or two, they disappeared.
We should implement this "red dot sticker" feature in browsers (with optional exceptions), and pages, services and whatnot should respect it, or they will be facing fines. Fines that really hurt.
- hiccuphippo 4y agoDo websites respect the DNT (Do Not Track) header? Oh wait, it seems to have been deprecated :(
- revlolz 4y agoWhat is a red dot sticker?
- Maelcum 4y agoSomething like this: https://www.amazon.com/red-dot-stickers/s?k=red+dot+stickers https://www.amazon.com/red-dot-stickers/s?k=red+dot+stickers Putting one on the mailbox means "No flyers please!", at least where I live.
- JohnFen 4y agoI'd never heard of that before. I wish it were a thing where I live. But at least in my apartment complex, the recycling bin is right next to the mailboxes, so I can conveniently just move the junk mail straight from my mailbox to the bin.
- Maelcum 4y agoThe interesting thing is that there was a sticker inside the mailbox already, but it didn't work, my mailbox was filled with junk mail, and I put them in the bins too. I guess the others don't mind the flyers and stuff, because the bins are still pretty full, every time I check my mailbox.
