Fine? They will be happy to pay the fine if it means they can fool thousands of voters.

Fines aren’t enough for this kind of behavior.

Here’s an idea… why not ban all robo-calls?

Because there are legitimate reasons for some robo calls. Appointment reminders and confirmations, school weather closure announcements, two-factor login verification, etc.

You can do all this things without robo calls. There are no robo calls in Germany for example.

I thought I lived in a pretty backwards part of Germany but your corner must be extremely off the grid!

To just name one example in Germany: Verification via robo call in WhatsApp.

This will be as effective as the do not call registry and CAN-SPAM. Which is to say, it will be a sick joke that won’t do shit by design.

I remember signing up for the Do Not Call registry. I got more spam robo calls after signing up than I did before signing up for it. It was a joke.

Hey everyone! Here’s a list of phone numbers! Real, legitimate phone numbers! Anyone can view this list of phone numbers, for free!

But whatever you do, DON’T call anyone on this list, OK??
