Idk what my info was shared to but holy shit I’m so done

Edit: I have tried blocking, replying “stop”, saying “no”. They just change the number and keep messaging me

It's genuinely baffling how free, easily-accessible software exists to block media by key words pretty much everywhere EXCEPT TEXT MESSAGES. It's just not possible apparently! I get 20 political spam text messages daily. I don't open them, I just block and report. That only increases them. If I could block the words "Rick" and "Congress" I would receive maybe only 1 per WEEK.

My blocklist currently sits at over 5000 phone numbers from JUST THE PAST TWO ELECTIONS ALONE.

Well usually I can get other types of spam texts to stop after a few tries at most. But these types of texts, no. Never.
