The FCC just proposed fixing your robocall problem by building the kind of phone-user registry that privacy advocates have spent decades trying to prevent.
IDK (prob?), but more and more of the privacy structures I set up for myself are being torn down like that.
I once set up a private VOIP. I hardly ever used it. I paid on time, every month for like 4 years. Prob made like 1 call a month avg to a local biz or w/e. Suddenly one day, company demands my ID. I wouldn’t give it. Service terminated. I never used it for anything bad. Not once. That never even crossed my mind. I just did not want my call history scraped and sold to data brokers.
I hate this. My ability to escape the mass surveilence is crumbling.
We should sue the federal government for taking our access to a basic human need - privacy. Like I cannot unfuck shit faster than they can enshittify the world.

That’s such a good way to put it. Captures my feeling perfectly.
It’s so demoralising. Like trying to hold back the tide.
