death penalty for poo poo companies might actually work. company you own stock in gets caught doing some bullshit? poof, there goes all your equity. not sure what to do with the debt, but it should probably go poof too.

If you’ve ever entered into a “business transaction” with them, they’re OK to continue “promoting business” with you.

A business transaction can be interpreted as something as simple as calling them once five years ago, or used your phone’s SMS to wait in a queue, or hell, maybe used your phone to express an opt-out preference.

I read somewhere this is basically the fault of the dude running the FTC now. I don't remember why, but I do know the guy is a complete loving tool.

It is ajit's fault, but it takes some time to unfuck these, and i'm not sure rosenworcel is too inclined to piss off the people that cut them shitloads of dark money

it used to be impractical to track down spam calls on a mass scale, but thats changed in the last few years with caller id authentication. Pretty much now the only spam calls i get are to my goog voice number and thats almost certainly a goog issue. either them not handling authentication at all or not wanting to bother with any call blocking cause its a service they'd like to see die off.

literally the only radio regulating ajit did in his tenure was (under trump of course) announcing a targeted, expensive, and largely ineffective "anti pirate radio" effort that was curiously laser-sighted on NYC, which is notable for having a pretty good handful of populist/lefty Puerto Rican pirate stations. Wonder who ordered that one.

spam calls tend to be easy to identify here because they spoof the first NPA-NXX portion of your own phone number 90% of the time so if I get caller ID from the same area NPA-NXX as my own number it's spam

other surefire ones are ones claiming to be from ottawa (CRA scam robocalls) and from the chinese consulate

spam calls for me were bad about two weeks ago. note I got right wing grifting texting me several times a day. at least with ios16 it seems to have some kind of option to report it as spam with at&t when I delete the text. if anything is actually done when I report it, who know (I doubt it)

at least i hope it eventually shuts down the numbers being used/set as callerid from service, even if reactive instead of proactive
