Here's an idea... why not ban all robo-calls?

[–] officermike@lemmy.world 29 points 10 months ago (23 children)

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

[–] gapbetweenus@feddit.de 20 points 10 months ago (4 children)

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