I'm considering posting regularly my "GDPR diary", i.e. an account of all the companies and data brokers I send cease-and-desist communications to, related to unwanted marketing, spam, promotions, etc. It's a whack-a-mole of course, but it has become my guilty hobby (and much easier now with AI tooling). TBH I also consider this a form of civil duty: if everyone does the same, very soon predatory marketing would become too risky to be profitable.

I send usually 1-2 of these emails (or letters) per week. And so far it's kind of working, i.e. when I home in on a target, usually the annoyances stop.

Dont feel bad using a firm language and threatening legal action, it's your rights, it's your self-defense against this Satanic practice, and I'd argue its' your duty too!
