Controversy
The Direct Marketing Association has attracted controversy, because people believe they aim to promote spam and to defend unsolicited junk mail and telemarketing, which many consumers find annoying and annoying. They have been accused, by The Spamhaus Project and Electronic Frontier Foundation respectively, promoting spam and working against open standards (ie, Do Not Track) that seek to protect consumer privacy from tracking by online marketers. They are also accused of using an "unlimited" spam definition.
Telemarketing Act
The National Do Not Call Registry in the United States, entered into force in 2003. By law, it is illegal for telemarketers to call anyone who has registered on the list. After the list has been in operation for a year, more than 62 million people have registered. The telemarketing industry is opposed to listing, but most telemarketers have obeyed the law and do not want to call people on the list.
Canada has passed a law to create a similar Do Not Call List. In other countries, this service is voluntary, such as the New Zealand Names Removal Service.
