I kinda thought they were already.
How about just ban fucking robo callers. Do not fucking make my phone ring if it isn't a human on the other end.
Do these even work? Whenever I got one during our last election I assumed I was getting scammed.
Let's go one step further and require robocallers to disclose that they are robocallers.
Also, this won't work in non-US countries, where 98% of the spam calls come from.
Lol. Good luck with that.
