It stems from the fact that in Europe this kind of thing is... avoidable. People complaining of receiving unsolicited texts and robocalls have either:
published their contact information in a public database (like company registry),
given their contact information to a company and unwittingly checked the "agree to use for marketing purposes/share with third parties" consent
are included in a high profile data breach of some kind
are the unlucky, statistically unlikely victim of spam from a new source that is yet to receive punitive action
- debugnik 4y ago> are included in a high profile data breach of some kind How is this avoidable specifically in Europe you say? Breaches affect us here just as much as anywhere else, specially since most breaches are user/client lists from large corporations most people can't afford to stop dealing with. > are the unlucky, statistically unlikely victim of spam from a new source that is yet to receive punitive action Unlikely? Given the rate at which scam and spam calls have increased in my country as data breaches built up, and this has been going for long already, I doubt they're getting much punitive action here.

Given the rate at which scam and spam calls have increased in my country as data breaches built up, and this has been going for long already, I doubt they're getting much punitive action here. I'm not talking about data breaches, that's covered in previous point. I'm talking about punitive action towards spammers that dial random numbers, etc. as they're easily identifiable by the operator
