yeah, years ago when i first started getting email spam, i clicked on a couple of "unsubscribe" links. which led me to pages where i was prompted to enter my email address. with the "assurance" that the companies would remove me from their mailing lists and not bother me again... that apparently had the opposite effect, and i received a lot more spam afterwards. up until the point where i eventually changed my address (for various reasons). i assume they were not acting in good faith, and instead had confirmation that my email account was active.

Exactly. So taking that as exemplar of personal information abuse situations, how does GDPR address this when there is literally nothing a person could do that wouldn't then make the problem worse. As with all these regulations they assume good faith adherence to what's being asked.
