If you send them a spam complaint, they will thoughtlessly and immediately forward it on directly to their spammer customers, as you do, so that that spammer customer will then know exactly who ratted him out, and thus, who he should put out a contract on, to have that party immediately DDoS'd. You sir, and your company, are part of the problem. In fact your entire industry is also. Working together you have all succeded in serving you own financial ends while shamlessly twisting and exploiting the true meaning of GDPR, using it as a blunt instrument to demolish and bludgeon to death the perfectly usable system that used to be called "WHOIS"... in clear violation of your contractual commitments to ICANN I might add... a system (WHOIS) which is now little more than a useless joke for all practical purposes. Congratulations on maximizing your own revenue at the expense of everyone else, and at the expense of civilization and a civilized Internet. I can only hope that the facts of what you and your company have done, and what the entire domain registrar inustry has done, will ultimately become a part of your permanent epitaph, following you to wherever you go from here, which I have some hopes will not be upwards. Please let me know if I have failed to be adequately clear. Regards, rfg
