    This will be as effective as the do not call registry and CAN-SPAM. Which is to say, it will be a sick joke that won’t do shit by design.

      I remember signing up for the Do Not Call registry. I got more spam robo calls after signing up than I did before signing up for it. It was a joke.

        Hey everyone! Here’s a list of phone numbers! Real, legitimate phone numbers! Anyone can view this list of phone numbers, for free!

        But whatever you do, DON’T call anyone on this list, OK??

      CAN-SPAM is effective for legitimate businesses with something to lose. Several times I’ve ended up on a list with an unsubscribe link that doesn’t work (looking at you, Walgreens). I contact their support, and if they don’t do anything I send them an email demanding they remove me and cc’ing the federal trade commission and my states attorney general. Hasn’t failed yet.
