I don’t know… I feel brains are in short supply around Musk.

You can opt out of both, but automated cold calling is straight up illegal in the UK (and it’s a good thing it is).

Ok, then how about automated cold calling vs “live” cold calling?

I see what you mean. Perhaps cold calling would be a better example then, where it is illegal if it is automated.

In this context I meant that it was the same person doing a “normal” thing at such a scale that it becomes illegal. Scale absolutely is something that can turn something from legal to illegal.

Scale makes a difference, but it shouldn’t make a legal difference w.r.t. the legality of the activity.

What do you think the difference between normal internet traffic and a ddos attack is?

I’m pretty much in the same boato but a lot of the communities just don’t have critical mass on lemmy yet :/
