Many HN users love to promote this kind of hustling/growth hacking behaviour as shown in the post, so I think deserve a periodic reminder of how it's recieved on the target side to dissuade people who do make those decisions from going too far.

Collective action? On my open platform? It's more likely than you think.

Spamming on a large scale is more serious.

How? (I have no time and money to sue them)

The title of the post is addressed to everyone who reads it.

> mild anti-social behavior

Interesting way of spelling "illegal misuse of personal information under GDPR".

That only applies if both the sender and receiver are in the EU.

It's probably also illegal to own a business at all in North Korea, but that law also doesn't apply to either person in this situation.

I'm under the impression that GDPR Article 3 (2) does apply in the case at hand, which is marketing emails sent by a US company to an EU resident.
