Actually they work doubly hard now. I have received enormous text scam for the last 3 weeks ?!
There will be a central data bank of personal information that can be breached, buy, or in any unlawful activity, then you know who texted you, sending links but unsolicited. It’s not nice. In other countries, the company pays when there’s a data breach. Ph 🤷♀️
