    In the U.S., the CAN-SPAM act requires companies to honor your opt out/unsubscribe request within 10 days. For particularly agressive mailing lists that don’t honor unsubscribes I will happily report them as spam to my email provider, report them to the FTC, and send a cease and desist letter I generated with chatGPT to their legal@example.com mailbox.

      In the EU, GDPR has made spam levels drop, and when the occasional one gets through the unsubscribe link works instantly because they don’t want you to get to the point of asking “wait where did you get my address”.

        Yeah people bashing Europe but we actually have a lot of good things.

        Now get your pitchfork and get down in the street as usual!
