Firestone email unsubscribe page isn't actually clickable so you can't unsubscribe
(sh.itjust.works)
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?
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
The domain itself is a joke on its own.
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/%E2%80%A6"
not sure if it helps them avoid being considered spam or maybe misconfiguration.
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.
Do you have any addons that enable contenteditable/designMode?
If they are available in the EU you can also report them for violation of GDPR rules
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);
That worked, thanks homie I knew some of you would be nerdy enough to help me out
np glad it worked.
Heroes of Lemmy
I've had this happen before with other online forms.
luckily I'm a developer and I just looked at their form, recreated the form submission object and sent it to the handler with the dev tools and javascript.
they were pretty irritated by it, enough so to warn me that what I did was illegal but they won't take action on me "this" time.
I responded and told them if they want a developer that can fix their problems and not send veiled threats then they already have my info to reach out.
never heard from them but I'm sure the dev never heard the end of that 🤣.
I wonder if a different browser would work better.
