Google Voice adds spam filter, lets solicitors get caught in the web

Remember when your legitimate emails were flanked by dozens of grammatically nightmarish blurbs, peddling pills, x-rated services, and Nigerian scams? If you use Gmail , most of that garbage no longer arrives in your inbox, instead making its way to a spam folder, where it’s held for a month before ending its journey at the Google graveyard
