Thank you for this stance. Also, look at penalties for caller id spoofing and perhaps govt action on preventing it. Phone scams are a $4B a year industry that prey mostly on the elderly.
I applaud FCC proposals to block the one billion unwanted robocalls Americans receive annually. In response to these outrageous intrusions of our privacy, the FCC is proposing to make it legal for phone companies to block unwanted calls and develop new call blocking tools. Yes!

Can the FCC ban election campaign commercials on TV and radio? They are way more annoying than robocall in my humble opinion. I approve this message.

How well do they actually block robocalls

Not against blocking robocalls, especially if it keeps them from leaving a voicemail But this reeks of negative side effects that could lead to intentional censorship

We have to be careful, they may start blocking other calls too.

I was thinking the same thing... how does the phone company determine what i deem a “unwanted phone call”

As long at the phone companies don't use this as a 'reason' to add new fees to the consumers.

Aloha Rep. Tulsi Gabbard:
Surprised to learn such good information from the FCC. Many have said the FCC has been asleep at the wheel, guess not!

I was skeptical for those first three words, but I am on board for the fight against the robo take over.

I get, approximately, six robocalls every single day!
-
If you’re not busy... answer and when an actual person gets on the phone... waste as much of their time as possible. They’ll block you
Especially the scammers, I love messing with them when I’m at work.
Unfortunately they’ve stopped calling

Everyone hates robocalls, but I am troubled by the free-speech implications of private censorship.

It's a private business. Businesses don't have rights, they have regulations. They are allowed to function within those regulations. If they are unethical or intrusive to those who didn't choose to take part in them, then they should face a penalty for that.

my only concern would be the FCC or companies abusing this blocking privilege and suppressing free speech valid concern or no?
