  1. Oh yes, because nothing says 'privacy' like a 7-minute diatribe about #KYC and phone usage 🤣. Clearly, the real threat to society is not the deluge of scam calls, but the audacity of the #FCC trying to make phone lines less like a minefield of fraud. Bravo, FCC, for daring to imagine a world where #robocalls aren't the highlight of our day! 📞💥

  8. Everybody hates #robocalls. But, despite tech reporting being willing to give the #FCC leeway, this new measure is not to stop robocalls, it won’t do a damn thing to stop robocalls. What it does is make burner phones illegal.

    Burners are an integral part of many social justice actions. Protestors use them to record #ICE and other #cops. We include them in “Go Bags” to let abused women and children escape. They allow for anonymity.

    They are a thorn in the side of the panopticon, and they are moving to eliminate them.

    Stock up kids.

  13. The #FCC Wants Your #ID Before You Get a #PhoneNumber

    The era of the #anonymous phone number could be ending…FCC unanimously approved a proposal requiring telecom providers to verify customers’ identities before activating service

    Gov-issued ID, physical address, legal name, & existing phone numbers would all be included. The stated goal is stopping #robocalls. The result would be an ID-verification regime covering one of the last semi-anonymous #communication tools

  15. Weird #callcenters calls come in more often lately. In #switzerland they break the law when they call you repeatedly against your expressed wishes. They've also figured out that they can train their staff to never give out any information about the callcenter. So, now I'm sitting here in my living room rehearsing scripts to weird them out or wast their time to hopefully land on somekind of "don't call that weirdo" list. 🫠

  16. AI-Generated Voices in #Robocalls Are Now Illegal

    A month after the mysterious Biden calls in New Hampshire, the #FCC can now go after #robocall scammers that use #AI #voice clones.

  17. CW: Long thread/30

    Nobodies like Rep #TomMassie gave Khan an opening to discuss how her agency is protecting mom-and-pop grocers from giant, price-gouging, #greedflation-drunk national chains. #JeffVanDrew gave her a chance to talk about the FTC's war on #robocalls. #LanceGooden let her talk about her fight against horse doping.

    But Khan's opponents did manage to repeat a lot of the smears against her, and not just the bogus conflict-of-interest story.

  19. Don't we all hate #robocalls / #spam calls / #scam calls?

    Here's something we need but don't have. Canada has #STIR / #SHAKEN deployed now, as I understand it. This lets phone companies determine where scam calls actually originate (technically, from what #phone company they originate or are last vouched for).

    But we lack a way to tell the phone company "This was a scam call, investigate it".
