But the Republicans are still spamming me despite "Unsubscribing" half a dozen times they continue to spam.
you can say what you want of GDPR, but my experience is that it greatly decreased spam: with GDPR, or you could sue the hell out of them.
The problem of spam is it is free to implement, so even a very small success rate makes it cost-effective to implement. Now if you introduce fines into the equation, it makes SPAM not a viable option (at least for legitimate business).
I leave in Europe and since GDPR, i haven't seen an unsubscribe button (now mandatory) at the end of an email which has not been working.
It does not solve the vigara spam and such (as it is ), but those have been easily detected for like 20 years now.
