That’s for actual spam, not merely a newsletter or marketing email you don’t wish to receive any longer. The distinction is my entire point. If you signed up for something and don’t wish to receive it any longer, that’s not spam.

Older people are more likely to be republicans. Older people are also less likely to be technologically sophisticated.

I've never signed up for a newsletter. Buying things and donating to places and emailing anyone puts you on lists, and they are spam, because they never got consent.

Yes, that is spam.
