Is there any company that will take my money to solve GDPR issues? And by solve I mean sue the spammers? For last few years I saw they "try" to look legit, by claiming addresses are managed by some Hungarian/Spanish shell company, hoping no one will be able to afford pursuing infractions over borders.

There's probably a law against it, but I've always thought a legal company could make decent money taking cases like this in bulk for free, on the condition that they get to keep all the compensation, while the "client" still gets the satisfaction of punishing the offending party.

On the U.S., only Attorneys General can go after violators of the CAN-SPAM Act.

It needs to be modified like how individuals can go after telemarketers.

That’s pretty much class action lawsuits!

This is hard, because private right of action in Europe is often very limited, and the damages are low.

THe US basically has a "private police force" for certain laws, notably the ADA. Many people are against this, I personally think it's a great idea and something countries should be doing a lot more of of.
