Unsubscribe by Domain
Is there a way to unsubscribe all audience members by a specific domain, i.e. '@email.com'? I have an onslaught of subscribers from one of our major competitors signing up for our newsletter and I would like to do a bulk unsubscribe and set up a way to unsubscribe them automatically.

There isn't a way to do this automatically (at least natively), but you can create a segment for Email Address > ends in > email.com. From here, you can use "Select Visible" and then unsubscribe, but if there are more than like 500, it'd be easier to export the segment, copy the email addresses, then paste them into the Unsubscribe tool that's listed under Manage Contacts.
If you think that your competitor (or someone on their behalf) is spamming you with fake signups, then using double-opt-in on all of your forms is going to be a good idea, since then they could only subscribe by clicking the link in the confirmation email.
I found links in your comment that were not hyperlinked:
I did the honors for you.

Bad bot. It was not hyperlinked because it was not supposed to be.
I was afraid I had no other options. We're not really worried about spam, it's them tracking what we're up to. We're B2B, so our campaigns aren't necessarily public. They like the sign up for our emails to see what we're up to. I've already done a bulk unsubscribe but staying on top of the new ones is going to be incredibly frustrating.
Thank you for all your help!
