Better late than never, I suppose. But people have, out of necessity, devised their own solution - simply never answer your phone unless it's a call from someone you know or unless it's a call you recognize and were expecting. Otherwise, enjoy voicemail, unasked-for caller.

Text messages are in the same spot now.

I'm not sure whether they truly 'cannot' stop the flood of robocalls, or whether they just are too cheap or lazy, but by not dealing with it they've made their service less valuable to most consumers.

My guess is it's an attempt to gin up a little good publicity in an ocean of bad publicity about their attacks on broadcasters First Amendment rights.

I just got off a chat with Amazon this morning about a package I'm waiting for. Amazon shipped it via UPS, it travelled 1,000 miles and got to within 50 miles of my location, and now for some reason is being returned to sender without ever making it to my doorstep. They apologized profusely and are looking into it. I can't help but wonder if it is UPS just being assholes.
