"Also it should be the company that has to prove that any of the above was legally sent"

To mis-quote a certain Horace Rumpole, that breaks the Golden Thread of British Justice, and while I can understand your position, it's the thin end of a very large wedge.

Driving above 70mph on a motorway is illegal in the UK. I don't want to be in a position where I'm pulled over by the police, and it's up to me to prove that I wasn't exceeding the speed limit. That's a mild example - I'm sure you can imagine much worse ones.

It always has been "innocent until proven guilty", and it has to stay that way, whatever you think of the offence or the people perpetrating it.
