8.3.2.1. Some Falun Gong people make phone telemarketing (一些法轮功人搞电话推销)
Ciro Santilli has seen Falun Gong people making phone calls to people in China with to explain why FLG is with his own eyes, and therefore is sure it has happened on some scale.
Particularly during Censorship of the 2019 Corona Virus (2019冠状病毒病早期迹象审查), Falun Gong ramped up the telemarketing calls and some voluntary believers were making calls all day nonstop.
Ciro does not know how the called numbers were obtained and if callees voluntarily signed up for it, but that feels extremely unlikely.
Interestingly however, many of the callees seemed interesting in what they had to say, and they often had long chats, Ciro was surprised by that. Maybe they were just bored senseless due to the Corona lockdown. Or maybe many Chinese People actually don’t like their Government and the CCP is fucked.
Also, of course, the callers received call scripts and guidelines to makes those calls, because obviously Falun Gong downplays the fact that it is highly organized (法轮功淡化了它高度组织化的事实).
Ciro strongly disapproves of this, Just like for any product, visual ads on the street are impossible to prevent, but any kind of advertising that generates notifications on feeds, or takes people’s time, is unacceptable.
As you can easily find on Google (谷歌)/Baidu (百度, Chinese Google), such calls may be reported in the CAC report website (12321.cn, 12377.cn, 12339, 中央网信办举报网站).
Ciro has not however seen them talking about making automated phone calls.
