…or not.
It’s pretty great that it’s Gavin Newsom, governor of a state with one of the more advanced data privacy laws, that is somehow still able to send me email using ActionKit, an ngpvan product.
Also great: both the privacy and contact links on the unsubscribe page linked to by the email point to example.com. š
Also great: the privacy policy at ActionKit point to TRUSTe as a watchdog through which you can make a complaint. But! The ActionKit, EveryAction, and ngpvan companies do not appear in the list at TRUSTe!
Money in politics is such a sham.
Anyhow. I’ve added my email to the block list again. Fingers crossed it was only Gavin.

It took a few months, but itās not just Gavin. This is no surprise, obviously.
Katie Porter, a congressperson from California, is proud to announce to me, a resident of Washington that she doesnāt ādo Congressā the way others do: by sending me an unsolicited email.
This email was sent via ActionKit, through act.katieporter.com. I believe it should be covered by the EveryAction block list, but I also think that game is rigged anyway.
If I were a resident of California, I would be able to invoke my rights under CCPA, but Iām not, so Iāll send her office an email, hit unsubscribe and cross my fingers.
I do pay income tax in California, shouldnāt that count for something? š¤
