Firestone email unsubscribe page isn't actually clickable so you can't unsubscribe

You can edit every element though apparently

Immediately I mark as spam in every way possible, and maybe add their customer support email to their mailing list too.

Report it to the FTC. The CAN-SPAM Act calls for something like a $50K fine for every email sent that doesn't include a one-click unsubscribe button.

I think you can also report it to Google. Enough reports, and their email will automatically be flagged as spam. You can write them a nice email explaining how their absence of an unsubscribe button will ultimately hurt them when Gmail cuts them off from its users.

And quickly, before it's closed down.

Is there a European equivalent?

It looks like the GDPR covers no unsubscribe option in emails

Having a working unsubscribe mechanism is required by the CAN-SPAM act. Violations can carry a fine of $10k per email. When this has happened to me in the past, I'd email their customer service and Cc my states attorney general and the federal trade commission explaining that. It usually gets fixed pretty quick.

Hilarious. That sounds like "burdensome regulation"

The era of corporate accountability is dead

You can add them to the Consumer Action Taskforce wiki.

Check if their check boxes have a SQL injection.

You'd need to be able to submit the form for that to do anything lol

Fire up burpsuite and do a POST, see what happens. 🤣

Maybe don't

I've gotten emails with unsubscribe links pointing to "http://localhost/…"

not sure if it helps them avoid being considered spam or maybe misconfiguration.

ohshit604@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 1y

http://localhost/

Uh oh, clearly somebody didn’t do their due diligence and test that while it was still in staging.

Chances are some manager was pushing for completion before they could catch it.

FYI: 127.0.0.1 = localhost - Essentially no device can access the resources except for the machine/server hosting it.

"illegal" is wild lmfao

sounds like contentEditable got triggered on one of the elements on the page. if you want to try and get around this before they fix it you can press F12 and paste this into your console:

document.querySelectorAll("[contentEditable]").forEach(x=>x.contentEditable=false);

document.querySelectorAll("[contentEditable]").forEach(x=>x.contentEditable=false);

Do you have any addons that enable contenteditable/designMode?

zeropublix@lemmy.ml · 7 pts · 1y

If they are available in the EU you can also report them for violation of GDPR rules

I wonder if a different browser would work better.
