FCC closing loophole that gave robocallers easy access to US phone numbers

  You’d think it should be easy:

  1. Is the call coming into the US from a foreign exchange?

  2. Does the caller ID indicate a local US area code?

  If both are true, block the call.

    But then how will Russian troll farms’ call centers help the Republicans?

  It’s too late IMO, we’re never going back to a time when you could maintain a phone line accessible to any caller without being drowned in spam. You just have to block unknown callers.
