France Bans Cold Calls Starting August | Europe News

Published 3 weeks, 1 day ago
Description

France is cracking down on unsolicited telemarketing calls with a bold new law kicking in August 11th—no more cold calls without your explicit consent. Under this opt-in system, consumers can revoke permission anytime, and violators face steep fines: up to 75,000 euros per call for individuals, 375,000 for companies. Designed to shield vulnerable citizens from scams and harassment, the move follows years of consumer backlash against ineffective “do not call” lists. While Germany and the Netherlands have similar rules, France’s stricter stance has sparked concern in Morocco, where its call center industry heavily relies on French clients. This signals a global shift toward stronger privacy protections—and fewer intrusive sales pitches.
