France has enacted a new law that prohibits unsolicited telemarketing calls, requiring businesses to obtain prior consumer consent before contacting them. This stringent opt-in approach replaces previous opt-out systems and carries significant penalties, with fines up to 375,000 euros for companies and 75,000 euros for individuals per illegal call. The legislation has raised concerns in Morocco, a major outsourcing hub for French telemarketing, about potential job losses in its call center industry. AI
