Daring Fireball: What to Do With Unwanted Political Spam Texts

I share Gruber's disdain for all of these automated text messages. I’m happy to report though that for years I've been doing the simple "STOP" reply to these and in my experience it works very well. I reply STOP to all of them and they don't come back. I also actively unsubscribe from email lists. It feels tedious but it also works.

A little bit of effort on a regular basis can have a big impact on the amount of junk that comes in via text and email.
