Spam

Spam is the distribution of unsolicited or abusive messages, often in bulk. It can appear in email, comments, messaging and other channels

What it means, how it is used and where it comes up, with its related concepts.

What it is and how it works

The definition does not depend solely on volume or commercial intent. A previous relationship does not authorise every subsequent communication. Responsible management maintains purpose, relevance and unsubscribe options, without presenting consent as the only possible legal basis or a previous purchase as unlimited permission.

Also known as

Junk mail, Junk email
