Like a National Do-Not-Call List? How’s That Working Out?

Why do I see this as throttling only Republican campaign robocalls?

Nationwide Crackdown on Illegal Robocalls, Telemarketing Scams Begins
NY Post | 07/18/2023 | Reuters

US regulators on Tuesday announced a nationwide crackdown to stop companies from inundating people with billions of unwanted and illegal robocalls and telemarketing calls.

The crackdown, known as Operation Stop Scam Calls, involves the Federal Trade Commission and 101 other federal and state law enforcement authorities, including the attorneys general of all 50 states and Washington, DC.

More than 180 enforcement actions and initiatives are part of the initiative, including five that the FTC formally announced on Tuesday.

“We don’t know too many people out there who enjoy getting scam calls,” Samuel Levine, director of the FTC consumer protection bureau, told reporters. “A single unwanted call is one too many.”

I also see this as creating a Telephone Security Administration which will harass little old grandmothers in wheelchairs just trying to visit with their grandchildren.
