The portal will be active from tomorrow, July 27th Public Register of Oppositions. This service allows you to express your objection to the free receiving of advertising calls.
How do you register for the opposition register?? There are four different ways: by filling in the form on the site, by calling the toll-free number 800 265 265, by sending an email to the address “REGISTRATION@registrodelleopposizioni.it” with a completed form or by registered letter always with the required documentation.
In theory it should provide a solution to the annoying problem of wild telemarketing, in practice it is feared that it will not be enough.
according to the law, I call center operating in Italy will have to adapt to consumer preferences. If their number is in the public opposition register, the user cannot be called for telemarketing purposes. The problem is that – as evidenced by several cases in the news – not all call centers act within the framework of legality, especially considering that even in our country there are numerous cases of genuine fraud advocated by telephone, often with using robocallie recorded voices, and in some cases managing telemarketing activities from abroad.
But that’s not all: The Public Registry is limited to revoking any consent for prior telemarketing, but membership in the Registry isn’t permanent. In theory, the user could inadvertently consent to the use of their number for marketing purposes even after registering in the registry, at which point the last signature would be valid. People can still register as many times as they want.
