Comment They call them "legislators" for a reason (Score 1) 56
So make them DO THEIR JOB.
How about a law that holds the carrier who DELIVERS the call to a user is legally responsible for the law that was just broken, with huge punitive damages.
It's not unreasonable, the ONLY reason these calls exist is because CARRIERS profit from delivering the call.
,br>ALL the carriers are TOUTING (ie advertising and charging for) services that detect and block spam calls.
If it works well enough to charge people for then it works well enough to HOLD YOU LEGALLY RESPONSIBLE for delivering these illegal calls.
The problem is that carriers get paid to deliver the call (yes, even internationally) AND now they wanna get paid for NOT delivering the call (spam blocking services).
In what sense is this NOT a protection racket? (which is , actually, illegal)
