Robocall spam = modern method of communication...?
So is email spam.
Both rude and unnacceptable.
Email spam is by definition unwanted emails usually by total strangers you did not opt in to.
These calls were made by a fellow FSP member who gave his personal cel phone number... did you call him to complain before you came here? You opted into them by giving your phone number. You've now decided to opt out. Not spam. Toodles!
This has already been argued. Giving someone your email address doesn't mean that you want them to start blasting you with junk email. It would still be spam.
It's a matter of reasonable expectations. If you give your address to a company, you can reasonably expect to receive junk mail. If you give your email address to a company, you can reasonably expect marketing email from them only. If you give them your phone number, you can reasonably expect their sales people will call you, LIVE.
Do you give your email address out to friends thinking that they would initiate spam on you? No, because you have reasonable expectations that your friends wouldn't abuse your email address.
We gave the fsp our phone numbers with reasonable expectations of not having our numbers abused.
I, as well as obviously Elizabeth, consider robot calling something people would NOT reasonably expect. It's a form of number abuse.
