  "account": "Spam texts have become a significant annoyance for many, with the author receiving dozens of messages per day, mostly from Republicans but also from Democrats, independents, PACs, and various pollsters. The author is hesitant to reply \"STOP\" to these messages, fearing it validates the right of such spam campaigns. Despite reporting the messages as spam and choosing \"Delete and Report Spam,\" they haven't seen any improvement in the situation. The author suggests that Apple could improve by adding an option to Apple Messages to filter spam messages and create a list of examples for future reference. The author expresses frustration with the ongoing issue and hopes for a solution to the constant pesterings from various sources.",
