Written consent is easy to get

Just hide it in some terms and conditions and instantly you have written consent to call. Half the purpose behind the ubiquitous survey-sweepstakes offers is to get your contact info and implied consent to market.

That's why they need to add a provision to the law stating that if they chose to offer a sweepstakes or surveys that participation in them is not considered consent in regards to receiving marketing from them or their business affiliates.

And supermarket loyalty cards. Your shopping history, product selection, and subtotals, and free samples (getting these is very strange, depends on the stereotype of the neighborhood around the supermarket, even if you live far from the supermarket, if I shop at the supermarket closets to me as the crows fly, I get nothing, if I shop at the same chain, but at a location that is much farther from me, but deeper into rich idyllic suburbia, I get 1-2 free samples a week); are gold to them and are much more than the 2-3% they loose over giving you token discounts. They should pay you to use your card per month.

It would have been more difficult to read if I said it was my grandparents shopping habits.
