Blocking Unwanted Robocalls by Default https://youtu.be/jygyuBXb8uc FCC Chairman Ajit Pai explains an FCC ruling that makes clear that voice service providers may aggressively block unwanted robocalls before they reach consumers. This blocking must be based on reasonable call analytics. Customers must have the option to opt-out of this blocking. This should increase adoption of blocking tools and reduce the number of robocalls received by consumers.
Consumer Opt-In for Call Blocking Based on Contact Lists https://youtu.be/J6kh-JIyBs0 Chairman Pai explains part of an FCC robocall ruling that clarifies that providers may offer their customers the choice to opt-in to tools that block calls from any number that does not appear on a customer’s contact list or other “white lists”. This option would allow consumers to decide directly whose calls they are willing to receive. Consumer white lists could be based on the customer’s own contact list, updated automatically as consumers add and remove contacts from their smartphones.
