GDPR = a lot of spam in my inbox

[appdrag]

Just today alone i got something like 50 GDPR emails from companies telling me they have updated their policies. And its like that since a week. Am i the only one thinking this is crazy and useless?

[celticninja]

I have had loads, many of them are telling me that they will no longer be able to email me unless I respond. Which means I get a load less spam email from next week.

One good thing from it is quite a few ask you to confirm to keep getting newsletters.

GDPR isn't to blame here, the companies are. Just stop working with the companies that emailed you.

[icedchai]

It absolutely is to blame. I didn't care about the privacy policy the first time, and I don't care about it now.

[ryanlol]

If the company had done their job before, they wouldn’t be emailing you now.

lol thats exactly every tech company.
