I don't have data, but it seems plausible that niche languages receive geometrically fewer attacks. I'm US, and looking at my call history 3/11 of the most recent inbound calls were spam which was correctly captured by google and I never saw it.


German is hardly niche, it's the 12th most-spoken language [1].

Anyway, Britain and (as far as I know) Ireland also don't suffer from these robocalls.

1.6% is pretty niche. Metcalfe's law absolutely applies.

I don't have data to compare between the many countries, but anecdotally, Canadians suffer robocalls at a similar rate to US-ians.


It is niche in Indian call centers.
