  1. The article incorrectly assumes that the bot sponsor will try to connect with contact even after unsubscribing to a bot. The overwhelming majority of bot sponsors are the responsible bunch. After the opt-in message, a bot will first check if a contact is unsubscribed and, if true, kick them right out of their flow.
    So if a bot sponsor does not want to get shut down by Facebook, they will treat an unsubscribe the same as a polite form of block.
