What does GDPR have to say about this?
You mean the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations / PECR. Spamming is prohibited under article 13.
National transcriptions of this legislation have implemented this as a civil offence in some EU countries and a criminal offence in others.
Yes, and as long as the sender is safe in a non-EU country, none of the EU "laws" will apply to them nor will they care. It's the same thing as saying bad things about Thailand's king while shouting from a pedestal on St. Petersburg Square. I don't know about you guys, but I have a very effective system for dealing with this kind of crap. It's called *plonk*. Thanks, Sabri
