And what about those marketing people who approach you on the streets? Can we make that illegal too? And the people going from door to door?

How many door to door salesman do you encounter? Where do you live, if you can share?

I haven't seen one in decades, and even then it was usually some pamphlets or books to support a cause or the other.

On the phone (Italy), OTOH, I used to get daily scam call to buy "Amazon stocks" or change utility providers or install water filters. That seems to have massively faded out due to new regulations tho.

What other kind of infantilizing laws do you purpose? Perhaps they should also make it illegal for people to interact with you if you find unpleasant? Ban small talk at checkouts?

In my country door to door sales are illegal.
