The question is, are phone operators even interested in doing this? Marking robocalls as such - sure, but blocking altogether - I don't think so.
Something interesting happened I think a few years ago, when a hosting company in the US that turned out to be the major hoster for spammers went down for technical reasons and the world went spam free (by 90%) for a couple of days. You'd think it was obvious what to do... but nope, once the hoster was back everything was back to normal like nothing happened.
- petee 5y agoI agree, I don't think they have any incentive to, and it would take strong regulation to force them. We would also have to stop pretending that calls are some 'divine message' that can't be interfered with, and be morally ok with cutting off an entire country if they won't curb spam.
- shkkmo 5y agoIt seems easy to me, pass a law that says if a telecom can't trace the source of a call to where it entered their network, they are legally liable for the content of the call.
