Re:ActBlue Isn't Selling Your Data

Donating to them has been one of my greatest regrets. For months I’ve been playing with the idea of getting a new number because I have found no way to treat the inundation of texts like I do with spam email, but my experience with Google voice has told me no number is completely safe from spam, where every once in a while I get calls collecting debt from the person whose number it used to be.

I am not suggesting it as a solution, but after I made a political donation (not to ActBlue), the onslaught only really stopped after I moved and changed my phone number. I didn't move or change my number because of this, though.
Even now, years later, I still get the occasional spam related to it, but it's little enough to just be background noise.
