New law of Ukraine on protection against spam calls: operators will disclose data of violators
The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine approved a bill on the protection of personal data, introducing new mechanisms to combat unwanted telephone calls and strengthening control over the processing of personal information of subscribers.
Protection against spam calls
New legal regulation
The Parliament of Ukraine adopted in the first reading bill No. 8153, aimed at strengthening the protection of personal data of citizens. The document pays special attention to the problem of combating intrusive telephone calls.
Subscriber protection mechanism
In accordance with the new provisions, telecom operators will have the right to temporarily record all incoming calls upon receipt of a complaint from the subscriber. The tracking period is limited to three months and even applies to calls from hidden numbers.
Operator Responsibilities
Telecommunications companies will be required not only to record information about suspicious calls, but also to provide the subscriber with a written report of the results monitoring. This will allow users to obtain documented evidence of unwanted calls.

Finally! I'm tired of these spam calls. I get 5-6 calls a day from different numbers with offers of loans 🤦♂️

I wonder how this will work in practice? I think spammers will find a way to bypass the protection. Good idea though 🤔
Hans
A friend of mine in Germany told me that they have had a similar system in place for two years now. He says the number of spam calls has actually decreased by 70% 📱

All this is nonsense and a waste of time. Previously, we lived without any protections or filters, and nothing. And now they come up with some laws, technologies... They just make life more complicated 😤
Lorenzo
Hans, really? This is encouraging! What are the penalties for violation? 🤓
Isabella
The main thing is that operators do not start charging additional fees for this service. Otherwise, we like to monetize everything that moves 💸
Hans
Lorenzo, the fines there are serious - up to 50,000 euros for companies. That's why the system works 💪
Amelie
Isabella, I agree! Although sometimes it’s worth paying for security. Yesterday they called me supposedly from the bank, it’s good that I didn’t fall for it 🎯
