I thought such rights applied to persons, not limited liability companies?
Wasn't it established long ago that advertising can be restricted to some extent?
Furthermore, the article says that the plaintiff specifically asked not to receive these texts. Isn't there some kind of consumer protection law that would address a company violating a customer preference that they provided?
Ever heard of the "Citizens United" SCOTUS decision ?
