It's actually extremely annoying that legitimate websites want to use our contact lists to spam each of our contacts with whatever they're trying to promote. Why I refer to them as "legitimate" is that they are well-known sites (such as popular social media sites) and they first ask our permission to send to our contacts before they actually do it. I NEVER knowingly allow this. My contact list has no business knowing what I'm doing online unless I specifically want them to know. Of course, we have no way of knowing if/when they use our lists WITHOUT asking our permission. |
