France Bans Unsolicited Telemarketing Calls | Wilmington News

France just enacted a bold new law banning unsolicited telemarketing calls — meaning companies must get your explicit permission before contacting you, and you can revoke that consent anytime. After years of consumer backlash over relentless, intrusive calls, the government finally acted, targeting vulnerable populations and aggressive sales tactics with steep penalties: up to 75,000 euros per illegal call for individuals and 375,000 euros for companies. Exceptions include pre-checked opt-ins or existing service-related outreach. The move has global ripple effects — Morocco’s call center industry fears losing up to 50,000 jobs, as France is a major client. While Germany and the Netherlands have similar bans, France’s proactive “opt-in” model stands out from the U.S., Canada, and UK’s “do not call” lists — aiming to silence the spam once and for all.
