You forgot their published and enforced policy that says that publish opinion on what the facts should be is more important than actual facts (which is why the prohibit primary sources).
Depends on where he lives. Some states have laws about suing people for things that happen to you while committing a crime. In California, for instance, yeah, you could sue, but if you win, any money collected from the judgement is automatically seized for the victim restitution's fund - before the lawyers get their cut. Really cuts down on the bullshit.
Personally, I (and everyone I work with) get packages delivered to work, where there are people's whose job it is to sign for such, and get it to the right person. Not everyone can do that, of course, but it's generally pretty easy to find some kind of alternative to leaving it on the doorstep.
Were you furiously masturbating while you typed that, Mr. Coward, at what a manly man you must be to spout your homoerotic fantasies anonymously on the internet?
Somebody that obsessed with homosexuality obviously has something to hide, mostly from himself. Somebody should tell him it's OK to be gay these days. He could get married and everything, if only he could find the man of his dreams (who could stand to be in the same room with him without puking).
And in California, those risks are very real, and the labor board enforces the law with great zeal. (Not that they give a damn about workers, but they sure to love to crap all over employers to justify their jobs. Which happens to work out for employees, at least part of the time.)
You clearly know nothing about California politics. I suspect it's one of many things you know nothing about. Like the difference between your ass and a hole in the ground, thumb test notwithstanding.
For values of "representative" that only represent the unions, the Hollywood rich, and the occasional Sillycon Valley psycho with enough sense to hire professional lobbyists. Welcome to California. Now go home. Paradise is only for the rich, and their indentured servants (who can eat whatever shit their master put on their plate, and like it).
It's also a matter of where you are. What I got was overwhelmingly Democrat (only one Republican), because this is California, with a f*cked up primary system that allows the final ballot to only have Democrats.
Ideally, it would be something you could freely opt into or out of. Carriers have the advantage that they can anonymously scan incoming messages & keep count of similar ones, escalating the "is this spam?" judgment call to a human once some threshhold is exceeded.
It's too vast a problem for humans to make the final decision.
Blocking by origin number sounds nice, but doesn't really work because there's nothing to certify that a SMS sender actually IS who they claim to be.
The phone company won't use Caller ID info, they'll use ANI, which is far, far harder to fake. Or something even harder to fake.
It's more likely that text messages of the wrong political persuasion, regardless of what the user things (even if they went out of their way to sign up for it) will be determined spam.
All I ever do see is order and shipping confirmations, and the occasional question about a specific product from someone considering buying it (and I'm pretty sure I could opt out of those, too).
Yeah, it should be the default, but you can get rid of their crap. If you're smart.
The tin foil hat crown is already insane. This will make zero different to them. (Which, I'd guess, is about as much positive difference as it will make to the environment.)

Glitter may be forever, but having a seven year old daughter isn't a crime. dye packets mark someone has having done something illegal.

I'd rather see the indelible dye packets that banks use, but that's probably a bit overboard.

Yeah, for some reason, the phrase "embrace and extend" comes to mind.

You know you were.
And so does everyone else.
NTTAWWT.

And fools still swallow the bare hook, time and time again. Just because it's always been a troll doesn't make it less a troll.
Dude, the post you replied to, and the post it replied to, were obviously from the same troll. Who you fed.

It's a problem caused by how stupid, gullible and obedient California voters are.
But when there are no Republican candidates on the ballot, one does not get election spam from Republicans.

That is, in fact, what the proposed change will . . . change.

Spectrum is far too incompetent to play that kind of DNS game on purpose.

Whether or not it's enforceable isn't as important as whether or not you can afford the $100,000 in legal fees to prove it's not.
"AT&T requires 30 days notice for cancellations."
Which has probably been in their contract for years, and they're only now starting to enforce it.
Not an unusual contract term in any way for that sort of service.
Nothing to see here, go back to your cells.
So do many people who are experts in the field. They're just as full of it.
My theory is that their programmers are so filled with self hatred and shame that they drink heavily while at work.
