Websites have been given a practical choice between annoying popups and blocking Europe.
It makes my life better when they block Europe, and I wish more did. I also wish Europe got rid of the GDPR.

Or they could just not track people...
pretty sad that this is unthinkable.

There is also the the third option of course: not tracking users.

The effective result of GDPR has been less than ideal, but was a step in the right direction. Abolishing it entirely in favor of a vacuum would carry a more weighty cost.

#71) Let my filter out all calls not originating on an US/Canadian landline/mobile carrier
2) Yes, I’m happy to lose all calls that come via VoIP.
3) I don’t answer my phone anymore, so I miss those calls anyway
4) I’m very happy to sacrifice 1% of signal for 100% of noise

#8Do we know if reporting a call as spam in Android gets reported to the FTC? Or do we need to file it as spam and report it ourselves to the FTC?
Re: US Anti-Robocall Litigation Task Force
#9This spring I was applying for jobs so I answered my phone for more unknown numbers than usual. This has lead to a huge increase in spam calls that I receive on a daily basis and Google Phone's spam filter isn't strict enough for my liking (not to mention no longer available since I'm running GrapheneOS).
If you're an Android and Tasker user you can take matters into your own hands and set Tasker as your call screen app. There are two different blocking types, one shows that you missed a call as a notification and one does not. I have set it so that all non-contact calls are rejected but I see a missed call notification. I also have a contact with a growing list of numbers that is rejected and I do not see a notification. Additionally there is a regex filter that rejects several area codes without a notification.
When I start seeing more spam calls from a random area code in Michigan (or wherever), I just add that area code to my regex filter and then just have to worry about clearing my voicemail at the end of the day.
If I'm expecting a call from a doctor or someone who is not a contact in my phone, I just turn off the profile and deal with some spam for a day.
Of course, I would love some strict regulations around this, but I do no expect the legislation to go far enough or be effective (I'm in the US).

Relay the full trace of all IPs and switches involved in sending a call my way and give me a way to filter based on that trace. I want to block an entire source if they don't do a good job of screening their clients.
