The centralized opt out list does not work. We have a centralized "Do Not Disturb" (DND) list in India and it does not work. The marketers always figure out loopholes in the system.

Not with the ban system. Here in France, you can report companies that make automated phone calls and they get strongly punished. I haven't received one in years.

Of course, sometimes I get calls from actual humans for polls or advertising a product, but it's much less of a bother since it happens less often and you can reject them.
