If they were so serious about curbing spam calls, they could just as well mandate that telephony providers figure it out. This is just another attempt to ensure they can track and surveil dissent.

No spam call center is using a burner phone. They're using SIP trunks/VoIP lines through spoofed phone numbers.

Yep. Seems like the key is: find vaguely related thing that people dislike, then gaslight them that more surveillance will fix it (it doesn't fix it).

Is it just me or is every single "Cellphone-Company Verified" caller always spam?
