Untimely cold calling: a senator proposes a law to reverse the trend
(France 2)
While cold calling bothers many smartphone users, a senator made a bill, adopted in the Senate, to reverse the trend. Explanations.
A Parisian met by the France Télévisions teams receives calls every day from telephone canvassers. However, for three years, he has been registered on the Bloctel list, supposed to block said canvassing. He is far from the only one to be exasperated. A senator wants to strike hard with a new bill. Pierre-Jean Verzelen wants to reverse the principle in force. Every French person would be considered not wanting to be contacted. Currently, they have to report if they don't want to.
If such a law were adopted, a brand would have to obtain consent from the person called to be disturbed by telephone. Besides, she could only do it twice in two months. Obviously, call centers are on the rise. The text, adopted Thursday, November 14 unanimously in the Senate, must be voted on in the National Assembly.
Watch the full report in the video above.
Non-exhaustive list.
