Yeah, I do @musllibc, FOSS & infosec stuff. But now is not the time for a mostly-/only-tech Twitter feed.

      You realize that's the exact argument people have regularly made on charging all internet traffic per megabyte, right?

      Internet has legitimate reason for rate to grow. Calls to telephone numbers don't. People's available time to talk does not scale up.

      There is no legitimate reason for rate to grow. At the carrier level bandwidth is almost free.

      There are two legitimate reasons for taxation: funding public services and disincentivizing harmful economic activity. The latter especially applies here.

      The call recipient's attention does not scale and is a precious limited resource. Using taxes to defend it is a very good idea.

      I'd love to even have the option to force caller to pay $0.20 in taxes every time they call me.

      This would be an awesome way to fix & monetize Twitter too - give us a button on our @'s to have Twitter bill the sender $0.25.

      You really don't see how rich bastards will find a way to exploit that and turn it into a revenue stream defeating any original purpose?

          The whole point is not to revenue-share so that the only value of clicking the button is penalizing spam & harassment.

          I don't like using money as a solution to a technology problem any more than I like using lawyers as a solution. This is a problem that can/should be solved with technology.

          Most social problems can't be solved with technology. SV's ridiculous belief that they can is what's gotten us in the mess we're in.

          SS7 being unauthenticated for practical purposes is very much a technology problem, and the technology problem created the social problem as soon as telecom got cheap enough. This is a problem technology can fix. Ironically, SS7 was rolled out to fix flawed in-band signaling.

          Also, this particular technology problem has nothing to do with Silicon Valley. It's straight out of Bell Labs in the 1970s.

          I actually agree with you that higher telecom costs discourage spam. I just don't think that's the only way to do it, the best way to do it, or a way that would help people more than it helps phone companies.

          Once the infrastructure to bill you exists, social norm of "you might get randomly billed" accepted, and the sealions/gators scheme?
