It's like email. If you press unsubscribe you just confirm the email is valid. If you send STOP back you just confirm there's a human reading the messages at that number. Besides, this seems to be an US only thing so it will only work for law abiding US based spammers^H^H^Hdirect marketers. Not for spammers outside the US, US based spammers that don't care about the law or scam/phishing messages.

If the message is sent through mailchimp, pressing unsubscribe actually unsubscribes you and blocks the sender from contacting you again.

  > blocks the sender from contacting you again No, it blocks that mailchimp sender account from contacting you again. It doesn't block the sender from contacting you again through other means or through a different identity. Would you like to buy a bridge?

      Yeah, it's sad, but it's what will happen, not what you wish will happen :)
