I really object to the way my phone number has been shared with so many organizations who spam me with political fundraising requests. I never opted in to this.

@aleen The day after I got my mail in ballot, I got a text from some candidate asking if I got my ballot. It was creepy and I will NOT vote for them because of it.

@aleen I would donate five times as much if there was a “never talk to me again” option

@aleen It's
been super annoying. I'm realizing that whenever there was no real reason they needed my phone number I should have provided my landline number (never used, just kept for emergencies) rather than my cell phone number. Just try sending spam texts to that number!

Aleen Simms, this is your life

@aleen I had the same issue, have had pretty good success with this spam text blocker. After a bit of training it now sends 95%+ of my political spam to the junk area in Messages. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tm-check-spam-call-blocker/id1566099565

@aleen I hate it so much.

@xxxx a friend recommended TM Check and it's been extremely helpful. I don't think I've had a single spam text come through since I installed it. https://apps.apple.com/app/id1566099565
