That's like a whitelist for email because you don't want to deal with spam though. It severely diminishes the medium and makes everything more complicated. What if your mother had an accident and is in the hospital, should the hospital send you an email and ask you to allow incoming phone calls? Could they even, if your spam filter wouldn't let their email through? And if it's straight to voice-mail, you'd still need to spend the time to check it, albeit maybe you could check when it's better for you. They could screen it with a voice assistant, but I doubt that'll work well, spammers will just set their systems up to say stuff that gets them through the screening and then switch to the spam once they get to you. And when the assistants catch on, it has lots of fallout because suddenly your kids' school can no longer reach you because the assistant flags everything about schools and kids because spammers have abused it.
