Im only basing that on the language used on the page, which says only multiple violations may get you blocked.
Perhaps I'm just confused about who is using it, and for what; I was under the impression this was for bulk mailing. But either way the whole industry has an abuse problem thats not really being taken seriously, as $2000 is barely a slap on the wrist -- what is a company's incentive to keep their platform clean with such a paltry fine?
But maybe the SMS on ramp shouldn't be so simple? These are businesses and they have undoubtedly calculated the risk of easy onboarding vs scammers getting through
- nucleardog 3y agoThese don’t need to be hugely punitive, just shift the economics enough to make doing the right thing less costly than the wrong thing. What do you think the average revenue per customer is at Bandwidth or Twilio? A couple thousand dollars in fines for a violation should be plenty of incentive to screen their customers better. If they start charging them $500k for a violation or something, these senders would just drop them entirely. Sure, you’d get rid of the junk… and everything else too.
