Similiar to email filters, does Lemmy know of any IRL tips to filter out junk mail?

Be careful about "unsubscribing" to various services.
They will unsubscribe you, but then they also have all of your information (name, address, anything else) on record and confirmed. They can profit when the sell that data to another mailer "service". It's like a Hydra.
Which country? I don't think this is the case in germany
Right, many Europeans have basic consumer protections lol
Absolutely. Unrelated to mail but related to data, Microsoft 365 comes with “Microsoft Defender for Individuals”; it monitors the dark web and HIBP for leaks… you can many different things from your personal information to your cards and insurance… sounds interesting at first until you see that Microsoft has partnered with Experian if i recall correctly, so you’re giving information away to a data broker/credit broker.
Yeah that tracks, do Google next haha
