I don't think we want telcos to block scam calls themselves. We want them to be forced to give the subscriber's actual address to the police.

- dredmorbius 4mo agoWhy not? And why would you impose a highly-intrusive personal-tracking system across billions of subscribers?
- inigyou 4mo agoBecause I don't want some stupid AI system to randomly decide I'm a spam caller. And you know every other country has full KYC for phone connections, right?
- dredmorbius 4mo agoWhat would be a sufficient appeals process or remedy action that might address your concern? What activities are you engaged in which make you think you'd likely be considered a spammer? What specific harms do you see occurring? Might these be related to your present line of business / profession / employment?
- inigyou 4mo agoSure, if someone gave me a false phone number to call them on, I could be declared a spammer. If I had to call more than 3 people a day ordinarily, I could be declared a spammer. I'm basing these on what already happens in the banking sector as a direct result of the regulation you want.

- inigyou 4mo agoYou have just copy-pasted your previous comment. That is a form of spam, and I'm flagging it as such.
- etchalon 4mo agoThey don't to block scam calls. They can easily limit who gets access to make them, making the resource itself precious enough no one would risk wasting it on a dial scam.
