Maybe so, but my cousin passed away suddenly nearly 10 years ago and I was the one who received the call because his family was out of town.
The thought of missing that call because I had to disable unknown numbers because we live in a society that doesn't value privacy enough to leave people alone is really depressing.
- supertrope 3y agoThe power of technology means anyone in the world can initiate contact with anyone else. Without a method to moderate initial contact, spam filters, ignore buttons, social etiquette, etc. our phones would ring continuously, our inboxes would get 10,000 emails per day, and our phones would chime continuously with push notifications. Spam is 99% of raw email traffic, and robocalls are a significant fraction of total call count. Nomorobo estimated 1/3.
