What network does Nanog-news operate? Marketing email doesn’t belong on an operational list. Even if its NANOG marketing itself. (Ack Kentik non involvement).
This is the right comment. The NANOG Mailing List Usage Guidelines ( https://www.nanog.org/resources/usage-guidelines/ ) are fairly clear about this. Posts to NANOG’s Mailing List should be focused on operational and
technical content only, as described by the NANOG Bylaws. Using the NANOG Mailing List as a source for private marketing initiatives, or product marketing of any kind, is prohibited.
Sending this type of message to nanog@ is not appropriate, by our own rules. This issue will be raised at the next members meeting. On Fri, Sep 8, 2023 at 9:39 PM Martin Hannigan <hannigan () gmail com> wrote:

NANOG does not have to sanitize links for you. Those emails do not have to be read, and no one is stopping you from filtering them out. For you to say, "my privacy has been sold", is simply not true.

Please take care when clicking links or opening attachments.It is totally possible to turn off the spyware in MailChimp. You just need to buy an actual commercial account rather than using their "free" service. To save $13 or $20 per month, you are instead selling the privacy of every recipient of your emails.
