What is "spam"?

Spam refers to unwanted messages, usually sent in bulk, often for advertising purposes. These messages are typically irrelevant or inappropriate to the recipient and are sent to large numbers of people without their consent. Spam can appear in various forms, such as emails, text messages, or even social media posts. It is often considered a nuisance and can clutter inboxes, leading to a loss of productivity. Many email services have spam filters to automatically detect and move these messages to a separate folder.
