It is unfortunately seemingly not illegal to send me political beg-texts multiple times per day, though.
- JohnFen 2y agoThe law specifically exempts such texts from being covered, sadly.
- nilamo 2y agoProof laws don't work.
- bigstrat2003 2y agoWell... proof that we can't trust politicians to pass laws that are good for us but bad for them, at any rate.
- JohnFen 2y agoNo, it's proof that lawmakers are willing to put exemptions into the law when it benefits them. That's bad, but it doesn't mean laws don't work. If anything, it indicates the opposite. If laws didn't work, then lawmakers wouldn't have to bother to put exemptions in them.
