I saw that very car at that very mall, and the screens were all surrounded by people eagerly entering their info. Don't people get enough spam calls and emails to realize why?
They just blame it on their phone company and the like. I know a few people that knowingly hand out info at conventions yet will blame everything but. Might have to do with the marketing companies waiting long enough and people quickly forgetting about them entering their info. So when the spam calls hit they just think of whatever company they know for sure has it.
Side note: it’s almost impossible to book anything in Orlando without getting spamming with timeshare calls months later. I’m amazed it’s even legal.
This is why the GDPR and similar things are good; you can sign up, but they have to delete your data if you ask them for it. It makes schemes like this a lot less er, 'final', so to speak.
However, this only works if GDPR ends up being enforced, which doesn’t look too great so far considering how many sites violate the regulation with non-compliant forced consent screens.
No. Otherwise, the marketers wouldn't waste their time.
People don't think past their nose.
Similarly to the concept of demanding adequate gov't representation, digital security has been made to seem impossible by large media conglomerates who benefit from all the tracking of advertising networks, etc.
It's never just 'one spam email'. You end up on a list, the list will end up being sold many times over, also to other list creators and in the end you will get 100's if not 1000's of messages, probably you will still be receiving messages long after you're dead.
