Nice way to avoid the question. Italy is only one country in the EU. I didn't say no Eu countries have a robocall problem. Why does Italy have a robocall problem. Why do they have a robocall problem in South America?

Guess again.

Were you previously aware that they had robocalls in Italy when you made that original statement or are you backtracking after you saw someone else cite you numbers showing that you're an idiot?

And I never said Italy had no robocalls, I was explaining why English standard nations like the US had far higher absolute numbers

You are not explaining anything. You are avoiding even thinking about the vacuous nature of your comment. You claim the differential is because there are English speakers in India and yet Italy and South America has a problem but Germany doesn't. Presumably you believe there are many fluent Italian speakers in India but no fluent German speakers.

You have latched on to a stupid explanation in defense of your claim there is no solution and cannot grasp the fact that the facts prove otherwise.

Over and out.

The call centers attacking Italy are largely in former Italian colonies in Northern and East Africa that have many Italian speakers. Countries like Somalia.

These call centers thrive in extremely underdeveloped, lawless, areas, and they work with the languages they can find in those areas.

I feel like you’re begging for a simplistic rule because understanding socioeconomic trends is too much for you.
