There are legitimate reasons for spoofing, but they all involve the permission of the number being spoofed.
We need something akin to DNS records for phone numbers. Each number would list the numbers allowed to spoof it. When a spoofed number comes through you check the list and see if it's allowed. Only the owner of the number can edit the list. (This is not a burden for the vast majority of people who have no need of spoofing, they don't need to ever look at the system.)
- spc476 6y agoThe Oligarchic Phone Companies already have a system like this in place, to lookup names based on phone numbers, and it's based on DNS. On the downside, each Oligarchic Phone company charges for each lookup (everything on the Oligarchic Phone Company costs money).
