To be fair to them, they do a pretty decent profit share every year. It is compensation based, so it's nothing life-changing (only say, 5-10% of your total compensation) but it was nice!
First and only place I've ever participated in profit sharing.

Section 22 is the relevant section they are hoping to rely on, specifically section 22(3) which allows them to:
----------
(3) A person may send or instigate the sending of electronic mail for the purposes of direct marketing where—
(a) that person has obtained the contact details of the recipient of that electronic mail in the course of the sale or negotiations for the sale of a product or service to that recipient;
(b) the direct marketing is in respect of that person’s similar products and services only; and
(c) the recipient has been given a simple means of refusing (free of charge except for the costs of the transmission of the refusal) the use of his contact details for the purposes of such direct marketing, at the time that the details were initially collected, and, where he did not initially refuse the use of the details, at the time of each subsequent communication.
----------
So in this case, they are obliged to let you withdraw your consent every time they email you. It is not a blank cheque for them to keep emailing you simply because you've purchased something; it is consent-based and therefore uses the same consent processes as the GDPR.

Yes, but extradition works on the basis that if they committed a crime abroad and it would be a crime in the UK, extradition can typically go ahead. Even if they didn't commit the crime in the UK.
> Where is the European Court of Justice ? Human Rights ?
The European Court of Justice doesn't hear appeals on extradition. It is a competence reserved solely for Member States.
The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) might hear an appeal if a Convention right is engaged (e.g. the right not to be tortured) so it is possible that an appeal is lodged after this case if extradition is granted, but Assange first needs to appeal to the High Court and then the Supreme Court if that happens.
This is because all domestic remediation routes must be exhausted before the ECtHR will hear a case. In any event, the ECtHR cannot directly block an extradition: they can only order the State to pay damages.
The only ultimate court in the UK that can block any extradition is the Supreme Court.
