    The FCC banning AI robocalls won’t do anything. Enforcement action can’t be taken because it’s so difficult to trace where these calls are even coming from. What really needs to be done is that carriers need to be required to verify any caller’s identity in order to trace them and prosecute illegal calls.

    Right now, overseas scammers can pay to use VoIP services that place hundreds of calls a day to victims in the US and do so in complete anonymity, beyond the reach of the law. That needs to end. No more anonymous VoIP calls. If your identity isn’t verified, your call gets filtered, end of story.

      It might stop the biggest local offenders, though. Remember those car warranty calls we used to all get 3 times a fucking week? They stopped after the FCC nailed the biggest offenders with a $300M fine.

      Sure, we can’t stop them all, but we can slow 'em down quite a bit sometimes.

    Too bad the FCC is about to be powerless thanks to a pending ruling from the illegitimate SCOTUS that will gut powers of federal agencies.

    Conservatives have ruined this country and this planet. Nearly every horrific event in human history has a cause rooted in conservatism. From global heating to every genocide in history, conservatives have always either been the cause of it or the reason we cannot stop it.
