Nice. But unless the sign up process makes someone tick a box to recieve emails you are in breach of grpd. One must opt in, not opt out. I hope the sign up process deals with this 😉

They already are, or did you ever consent to cookies here? At least I don't remember doing so.
As they are a US company only they don't really need to care though for now. Yes, the EU claims the law to be extra-territorial. There's no instance yet where the enforceability in the US has been tested though, and it's highly unlikely a small and hardly profitable enterprise like Steemit Inc. will be the first one they try with.
Cookie consent prompts are presented to users with IP's in EU
Thanks for that info, I wasn't aware. Maybe better to care before you become the example case :D
Good to see that you're fully compliant then.
I agree with @paulag. Also, we know from @arcange's data analysis that 1 million people did not sign up for steemit.com because less than 600k accounts have ever been used at least once.
As we stated in the post, we added the e-mails from the SMT mailing list.
There is something in the law about being able to use emails that have been provided as long as there is an unsubscribe ability. I don't know the precise law though but I don't think they cross into GDPR trouble with this.
We reviewed all of the relevant laws and regulations and are fully compliant
Email marketing does still work, although comments here suggest otherwise. I think this is a good move, once you are complaint. I haven't looked at the sign up process and well it's also not really my concern. Hopefully this will curb the "steemit dont communicate" feeling people may have and I am in support of this effort for sure. Give me a shout if u need to ask any grpd questions 😁
