Re:Ask HN: Abusive-seeming legal threat from Semalt on Thursday June 14, 2018 @03:18PM (#17314530)
it is all about their online reputation... if you type in semalt, there are many articles talk about their spamming behavior back in 2014, and most analytics block them.. they just want to remove those articles/comments as many as possible...and to be forgotten/"privacy". i did search.. their trademark is Estonian Trademark, and still in pending(date of filing: 16.05.2018).. so they are part of Europe.

I think Semalt sent the same letter to anyone who has mentioned their wrongdoing or how to block it... I think most of them do not even want to bother or any trouble with the company. Simply delete the article because it was like big topic in 2014. Now because of GDPR, they are trying to abuse it and cover all of their shits.... i don't even wanna bother with them.. I just deleted the article..
