There's no other company whose emails I've tried to unsubscribe from more. I even managed to break away from LinkedIn's membership spam, but I still get IEEE.

- ckastner 8y agoI share the pain. I get emails, mostly call for papers from some conference organizer (not IEEE directly), to addresses that haven't been on file with IEEE for more than 10 years. All with an "reply to this email to unsubscribe from my personal list" (not the IEEE main list). It's as if the IEEE had shared a spreadsheet with emails with all of their members, with no process going to update or revoke this information.
- majewsky 8y agoIs this legal? Here in Germany, after having terminated business relations with an organization, you can force them to delete all personal data they hold about you unless they are required to hold the data for legal compliance reasons. (And before you say that's because of GDPR, it's actually been like this for as long as I can remember, so at least 20 years. GDPR mostly just standardized existing laws and added some potentially hefty fines to make it harder for international corporations to ignore them.)
