The idea of giving spammers a second chance seems truly bizarre to me. Have you ever un-blocked an email address that you previously blacklisted for spamming you? Do you think recipients of spam from this company want to give them a second chance?

I'm not necessarily saying the people behind this should be completely blacklisted from the entire industry, but when a company earns a place on my block list for behavior like that, it's permanent. They need to start over with a different business model. Failure of the company is a reasonable and fair consequence for such scandalous behavior, especially for a company at such an early stage.

So a company decided to send cold outbound to a targeted audience from a dataset they gathered from a public social network... so what?

> "Scandalous behaviour" really? In the same year as the Epstein files?

Wishing a companies total demise over such a trivial matter? Honestly?

All this prissiness about some unwanted emails...
