Are you aware that GDPR made every business that relied on finding costumers trough phone or email ilegal?

How can you defend a legislation that makes everyone illegal, even outside your jurisdiction?

That's not the case. They can find costumers through various channels, but they need consent first, they can't spam.

Not correct. They can't contact without positive consent. How can they prompt consent if they can't contact them in the first place?
