Americans are not uniformly harassed, and I am sure people in your country aren't either, so your sneering conclusion is baseless.

#robocall complaints (USA, 2018): 3.8 million #robocall complaints (Germany, 2018): 13375 https://www.ftc.gov/policy/reports/policy-reports/commission... https://www.bundesnetzagentur.de/SharedDocs/Downloads/DE/All...

The word "uniformly" is key here, and why many generalizations fail, as well as being unfair and offensive.

I'd also doubt assumptions such as people are equally likely to report, it's equally easy to report, counting is done the same way, etc., so I don't think your response is sufficient to characterize the average.

If you don't mind my asking, why? I've identified a few possibly concerns: - Privacy. - Avoiding distraction. - Cost. Others?

To avoid distraction. Majority of calls I received from landline numbers, are from robocalls.

Thanks, interesting, and understandable.
