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

[–] officermike@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago (2 children)

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

How about ban non-opt in robocalls?

[–] gapbetweenus@feddit.de 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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.

Oh, I genuinely didn't know there are robo calls in Germany, never encountered them - always used sms or other kinds of verification. My bad.
