FCC allows blocking traffic from robocall-friendly provider One Owl

We&#x27;ve become so desensitized to spam and robocalls due to the scale of the problem - but these should absolutely be treated as attempted theft. If there were a gang going door to door trying to con elderly or otherwise gullible people into giving them thousands of dollars, there would be task forces formed and police patrols on every block. Instead, since it happens over the internet and on the phone, we give it benign names and treat it like a minor hassle and let everyone fend for themselves.<p>How did we become &quot;okay&quot; with having most of the communication that reaches people be malicious? What is Federal law enforcement doing? Why the hell hasn&#x27;t the FCC nuked these companies&#x27; ability to operate? Who is lobbying <i>for</i> this shit?

I hate to push products, but happiness is the Call Screen built into Pixel phones. If it feels the call might not be spam, I still have the option to screen it and watch the party converse with the Google Assistant in real time—kind of like the answering machines of old, but you can read instead of listen.

Years ago I heard that SHAKEN&#x2F;STIR were being implemented and would allow robocall blocking. I still get tons of robocalls. I&#x27;ve had this explained as &quot;SHAKEN&#x2F;STIR were the crypto that will eventually allow blocking, but the blocking will happen later.&quot; Is it later? Is this the start of the actual blocking?

Wow: the FCC publicly shames the perpetrator including LinkedIn URL of the person. That&#x27;s new behavior and might actually be a decent deterrent.<p>( <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.linkedin.com&#x2F;in&#x2F;aashay-khandelwal-ab6179238" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.linkedin.com&#x2F;in&#x2F;aashay-khandelwal-ab6179238</a> )

Not just robocall friendly apparently, but a serial offender, with new company names but the same behavior.<p>ref: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.fcc.gov&#x2F;public&#x2F;attachments&#x2F;DOC-395670A1.txt" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.fcc.gov&#x2F;public&#x2F;attachments&#x2F;DOC-395670A1.txt</a>

After I moved states, I discovered a pretty effective anti-spam call heuristic. If the call is coming from the same area code as my phone number, it is most likely spam.<p>It seems spam callers assume most calls will likely be from a local number and so they initiate calls from the same area code as the target. However, since the area code in my local area is completely different from mine (since I moved), this tactic actually backfires and acts as a pretty good spam signal.

Now if only they&#x27;d take some sort of action against all the spam text messages I get. I swear I get a dozen texts a week from stringofnumbers@fakeemail.com telling me my amazon account has been suspended or a USPS package is on hold.

OK now do the bigger providers that allow robotexting without consent...<p>I received unsolicited texts from a &quot;Buy your house cash&quot; company last year. Of course, they did not identify the company name in the texts, not even with prompting...<p>I was able to trace the number to a larger provider... [0] The provider was unwilling to tell me who originally called me. Which is <i>strange</i>. If a company wants my business, shouldn&#x27;t they be willing to say who they are? If a VOIP&#x2F;TOIP provider doesn&#x27;t disclose who communicates with you, isn&#x27;t that a way to shield harassment?<p>But, as always, it&#x27;s about who pays the most money to the lawmakers via lobbying...<p>[0] - By &#x27;Large&#x27;, I will say that they are a provider for Microsoft Teams Voice calls&#x2F;texts in the US.

A little bit off topic, I know, but I love how the FCC is using a plain text file here. No nonsense!

There could be an unfortunate consequence of this: picking and choosing who&#x27;s traffic to accept. Telcos generally operate as common carriers, meaning they have to accept traffic from anybody. Obviously, that doesn&#x27;t seem right when we don&#x27;t like that traffic. But imagine if telcos could start deciding on their own which businesses they were willing to work with or deliver calls to. What if they could just cut off your business because they don&#x27;t like what you&#x27;re selling.<p>I&#x27;m not saying we&#x27;re on the way there - this doesn&#x27;t have to be a slippery slope. But it&#x27;s something to keep in mind.

Why is the FCC giving other companies the right to block One Owl if they fail to comply, rather than simply terminating One Owl&#x27;s connection to the network?

I really like it when someone in the middle has changed the caller id to say &quot;FRAUDULENT&quot;.<p>Someone I know believes strongly that the telco&#x27;s don&#x27;t care to police and would rather push people onto cheaper to maintain mobile technology. (We get orders of magnitude more scammer calls on our landline than our mobiles.) But there&#x27;s a lot of assumptions in that belief...<p>Is there any truth to those economics? Is there a bad incentive here for the telcos?

Isn’t perfect but this is why I suddenly like voice mail again. I don’t answer any numbers I don’t recognize. If it’s important they will leave a voicemail.

Could we say it is becoming evident that the US government are fine with ad-blocking? (For at least some ads)<p>I expect this news to be heavily criticized by all highly paid engineers at ad-tech companies like Google and Meta?

This is good, albeit very late.<p>I already consider the telephone to be an unusable form of communication due to the amount of unwanted and unsolicited calls that I receive.<p>Telephony is completely and totally dead to me, now.

As long as political orgs, including the major parties, rely on robocalling of the vilest sort to raise their funds, don&#x27;t expect Congress to pass any meaningful legislation.

Just force them to buy phone numbers like we sell ips. Each number could be $1 and you burn them when an operator gets caught
