GDPR = a lot of spam in my inbox

Just today alone i got something like 50 GDPR emails from companies telling me they have updated their policies. And its like that since a week. Am i the only one thinking this is crazy and useless?

I have had loads, many of them are telling me that they will no longer be able to email me unless I respond. Which means I get a load less spam email from next week.

One good thing from it is quite a few ask you to confirm to keep getting newsletters.

GDPR isn't to blame here, the companies are. Just stop working with the companies that emailed you.

It absolutely is to blame. I didn't care about the privacy policy the first time, and I don't care about it now.

If the company had done their job before, they wouldn’t be emailing you now.
