Yes, and as long as the sender is safe in a non-EU country, none of the
EU "laws" will apply to them nor will they care.

It's the same thing as saying bad things about Thailand's king while

I don't know about you guys, but I have a very effective system for
dealing with this kind of crap.

It's called *plonk*.
