Just received an unsolicited marketing email from a company that I asked to remove me from their systems eleven and a half years ago (!).
I haven't heard from them since then.
The marketing email is sent using a platform that "uses AI to help you seamlessly connect with your customers". By which I assume the platform means "we'll crawl your email history to find anybody we can possibly spam".
Just gonna go grab my GDPR/DPA2018 beating-stick. This is gonna be a fun one.

Hero of Alexandria
Hero of Alexandria is my hero. And it's not for the steam engine he didn't invent (that was Vetruvius), nor for his formula for the area of a triangle, nor even for his programmable robot (yes, really). It's for his square root algorithm.
