Sounds like a copy of a law in Germany. Same rules. Works fine here.

These laws should be a slam dunk, no one wants unwanted calls.

Sighs in Canadian

What is a solicited telemarketing call???

“Why yes, I want someone to call me to pressure me into doing something I don’t actually want to do!”

The Netherlands as well since July 1st 🎉 https://business.gov.nl/amendments/telemarketing-no-more-unsolicited-calling-your-customers/

I'd love this in the US, but we're ruled by the wealthy assholes here. They have personal assistants to screen their calls.

Good. Now ban data brokers.

Fuck when can we get this in Scotland?

“unsolicited” doing all the heavy lifting but it should help.

Another story on the pile of "I'm a middle aged american and France was always the butt of the joke, yet they seem to have their heads on straighter than most places on the planet."

I get about 20-30 a day and at least half as many leave voicemails. The phone part of my phone is useless and deleting voicemails to keep inbox from overfilling on the rare chance a client needs something has become a chore.

There has got to be a better way.

Don’t they just spoof numbers anyway?

Yeah they're also making it illegal to access social media if you're under 15 so they're gonna have to enter their ID soon to access most websites. Sooo it doesn't even start to make it even.

It'd be cool if my country did this, but we care more about profit than anything else.

I welcome France to the ranks of good nations.

And Morocco, if your businesses profited that much from annoying and conning people, punishments like this are well deserved.

Fuck about time. Scammers/telemarketers are terrorists.

France ! Je t'aime!
