- WarOnPrivacy 2y ago> i hate getting business sms The big mass senders can afford TCR compliance. I'm betting that's who you hate getting sms from. Well, you'll keep getting their SMS. It's small biz who is hurt by TCR. Biz who are run by people you've met and talk to. I do business with lots of local shops and often SMS is the best fit for us to talk to each other. Except now we can't. That's who TCR is protecting us from.

And even political campaigns are having to switch providers once or twice a year since they generate over 90% of spam reports and don’t actually bother with even opt-out compliance. Any legitimate business that’s actually compliant will respect opt-outs and actually stop texting after a STOP, and I seriously doubt they would actually survive if they blasted away with unsolicited a2p texting these days.
