What is what does spam mean?

Spam refers to unsolicited and unwanted electronic messages, such as emails, texts, or comments, that are sent to a large number of recipients without their permission or consent. The content of these messages is often advertising or promotional in nature, aimed at selling products or services, or scamming people out of their money. Spamming is considered unethical and illegal in many countries, and can be a major annoyance for those who receive them. Many email services and social media platforms have filters or algorithms in place to detect and block spam messages.
