#Spammer invited me to take them to #court.

Proceedings were served on the 12th, deadline for a response expired on Monday.

Today I got a "we'd definitely win this, but we're far too busy to bother defending ourselves, take the money but please don't enter judgement against us" email.

So I got to send a "too late, default judgement was entered yesterday" reply. :)

#PECR #GDPR #Privacy

This is the thrust of European privacy legislation - #GDPR, #PECR and so on. (Essentially the same standards still apply in the UK despite the more moronic Brexit swivel-eyed loons.)

#Data is not something you should hoard and trade. It's a hot potato you should handle with care while you have to, and get shot of as soon as you can.

The #ICO are paid about £62m per year.

May I present reason #324873 why they aren't worth that.

I don't get #spammers... Someone #spams me, so I send them a quite specific email basically saying "looks like you've broken these specific parts of the law" and inviting them to negotiate a small amount of damages.

Best way to minimise costs is surely an apology, commitment to fix procedures, etc.

What I actually get: loud and abusive "we did nothing wrong", providing no evidence to show why they didn't break the specific legislative points I had raised...

Our next online session this Thursday at 5pm will see me &
Jim Killock @openrightsgroup kick off an analysis of supervisory oversight of the UK #GDPR & #PECR.

So according to the #ICO, a company is fully compliant with #PECR if they are in breach of PECR but didn't realise they were in breach?!

The ICO has fined Join the Triboo Limited £130,000 for sending 107 million marketing emails without valid consent, in breach of the Privacy and Electronic Comms Regs.

The emails were sent to c400,000 individuals, meaning each recipient received an average of 244 separate emails during a one year period.

Interestingly, the ICO received zero complaints about the company in this time.

@rolle Whist I would definitely prefer not to be spammed, I generally ask the spammers for financial compensation for the misuse and loss of control of my personal data. I totalled £2959.50 over the 2022-23 financial year, after deducting court fees. #GDPR and #PECR are wonderful things, if only they were enforced...

A quick write up of how it went when a couple of #spammers ended up in court. https://blog.nexusuk.org/2023/03/anti-spam-judgements.html

The #PECR is not ideal, but one aspect is a problem.

Section 30 is impotent without some sort of defined base level of claim for damages due to stress and anxiety without having to prove it.

Talk to your MP? This is a regulation due to be replaced with Uk law after #Brexit. It can be better!

Ooh, have the #ICO updated their #PECR guidance.

They now say.

The marketing rules in PECR refer to “subscribers”. For example, this means the customer named on the bill for a telephone line or internet connection. There are two type of subscribers in PECR - corporate and individual.

So they are agreeing with me on this at last. It is down to who is on the bill for the internet connection. In my case that is me as an individual.

Well this is interesting. Way too many online shops seem to think that if I buy something from them, this gives them permission to harass me with #spam forever more. #PECR says that this is unlawful, and I routinely make claims against companies that misuse my personal data in this way.

Today was a rare occasion where the defendant refused to negotiate or enter into mediation and it went to court. And I won.

May be of interest to @revk and @bloor

So I have a habit of taking legal action against companies that #spam me for breaking #PECR. It amazes me how many of them defend themselves with something along the lines of "we don't think we owe you any damages because we found your blog that shows that you routinely go after #spammers". I'm not sure why my history with other spammers should have any bearing on how liable the latest one thinks they are?

Hmm, #spammer has cancelled mediation... I wonder if they will be expected to attend #court in person, or if the county courts are still operating a video conferencing system? #PECR #GDPR
