Come on, even knowing this, you have to admit there's probably a lot more unsolicited than solicited ones...

Who knows, I haven't searched for unbiased data to be honest

But they can be more judicious with whom they share contact details, and use the block button. They are not forced to be the recipient of any message.

Do you think the only solution is for a government backdoor?

Yeah, the government's idea is moronic. But making it the victims' responsibility ("don't share your number indiscriminately") is depressing too. How about make it easier to prosecute the unsolicited sending. How about educating people not to be fuckwits..

Yeah prosecution makes lives more difficult, it's rife for abuse (the recipient could fake evidence, the sender could claim he was hacked/his friend took his unlocked phone..)..

No, I don't. But does the government think the only solution is a backdoor? Yes.

They are the ones in power, not you & I.
