If folks are curious about what it was like fighting spam back in the early 2000s, I used to work at a firm that was contracted by some of the big email providers.
Our job was to take spam, identify who was sending it or, at a minimum, who it was advertising for and then forward that on to the law firms of the email providers.
This was right around the time that spam legislation was coming out so it was interesting to see how it was being applied directly to people we found.
I write a lot more detail about it here: https://twitter.com/alexpotato/status/1208948480867127296 https://twitter.com/alexpotato/status/1208948480867127296
