Why isn't this a problem at all in Europe? I've lived in Switzerland, where I would get 1-2 calls per month trying to sell me some insurance. Now I live in Roma

Why isn't this a problem at all in Europe? I've lived in Switzerland, where I would get 1-2 calls per month trying to sell me some insurance. Now I live in Romania and I don't get any calls like this. And I haven't heard friends complaining about it either.
- LaundroMat 5y agoMost of the EU countries have an opt-in policy: no unsolicited calls are permitted unless the company calling you has your permission. But that's not the case in e.g. Belgium, where I live. Belgium has a do-not-call register. Last week, I made a tool to automatically add phone numbers to that list (the do-not-call website API was unprotected,and all I did was automate what anyone could do manually via the website) so that we'd arrive at a de facto opt-in situation, but at 700K numbers the do-not-call website went into maintenance :)
