I'm meeeeeeeelting!

Recruiters are often the worst for this anyway - most of them were barely compliant with the old laws.

I had one email me today (of all days!) - a recruiter I've never spoken to, signed up for emails to or had any interaction with whatsoever. Trying to hook me up to some crappy job on the other side of the country.

Pretty shady, but whatever. There's an unsubscribe link in the (7pt, light grey font) legal fluff at the bottom. Except it didn't seem to do anything.

A quick look at the HTML showed it wasn't a link at all - just regular text with underline and blue color HTML tags around it so it looked like one.

Scrotes. I replied to their email with a legal request for all my data, just to annoy them.
