If you run any sort of text messaging service, you’ll have to process unsubscribe requests. The standard such messages is “STOP.”
To make things easier for customers, in addition to “stop”, I wrote code that also looked for “unsubscribe”, “quit”, “cancel”, “end”, “delete” and anything beginning with the word “fuck.” (Messages merely containing the word fuck often wanted something else entirely.)
Many folks are pretty…creative with their cease-and-desists messages, and manual review is required to make sure you catch all of them. Here are thirty-one such requests for your amusement:
- Already did!!!! Stop harassing texts… This is invasion of privacy
