Uh... valid points but... who answers unknown numbers anymore? horse/barn, train/port, ship/station., cows/something or another.. all have left. Car warranties, something about my Chase bank account in China (bit of a surprise to me), legal action blah, blah, ... A lack of acknowledgement to the "unknown" caller, small price to pay.
E…

Even all postal mail goes right to the trash, never even look at it unless there is something expected(car registration, tax stuff, ordered-more stuff) anything else not online that matters, will be delivered in the form of legally "being served", woohoo... So, an ez life.
I can live a life quite abstracted from external influences, of any type. I only engage with those I want to engage, at a time of my choosing, in the way I wish to. Awesome.
You don't run a small business, then, you there enjoying your EZ life, removed from the real world of small-business owners. EVERY small-biz owner I know gets bombarded with telemarketing calls all day every day . They often work on tight deadlines, and they have to talk to any customers who call. Why should they have to lose business because their congresscritter was too corrupt to fix this law two years ago? Oh, yeah: So Facebook, Amazon, Google, and the Big Banks don't suffer. And it's going to get a lot worse because of this unanimous SCOTUS decision. As a notorious attorney who defends telemarketers wrote on Thursday night, "Yes, Facebook means that you can probably use most predictive dialers to call cell phones without consent. Yes, even for marketing purposes. Yes, even cold call solicitations to numbers that are not on the DNC list. Yes, this changes everything."
The primary issue at a broad social-cultural level is that we "citizenry" now feel, we can and should be able to isolate from "others" which is my biggest concern. It has become a primary and first choice "right" to control one's environment absolutely, secure in conformity and most importantly, unanimity. Not "gridlock", this is just walking away from participation which is vastly worse.
I doubt very seriously, that any justice on SCOTUS have telemarketing calls. There was a time when the privileged were a bit more circumspect in publicly revealing the extent of that "privilege". In fact, the difficulties of one social group are only acknowledged by another when social capital can also be developed. A bit like the old days of bitcoin mining, one sees social issues and then begins to mine them to build up individual and social identity group power.
Of course, that social currency mined, never seems to make it back to those from which extracted. Inner city as an example. Of course, at least with a particular bitcoin currency there is a determined and finite number so an end point in that case. Bitmining for social currency? Good gig, there is no end, can keep tapping that forever particularly when the patient never improves.
A bit far a field but that is why I ended my earlier comment with "This can only be good for society...?"
Regarding telemarketing calls... or scammers, let's just go there. Within a few years we will have our contact list fully integrated into our phone system, meaning that telco will require integrations into your approved list of contacts (SuiteCRM?) to manage this problem. For your benefit... This can only be good for ... ?
It is good to allow problems continuance, so that a "solution" drives to a particular path opening up new institutional opportunities for ... ? Well... it won't be small business.
I don't know what you're talking about, but I do know you're far removed from the average American small-biz owner who has to suffer robocalls all day every day, oh ye trust-fund baby. Let's just leave it at that, and excuse me, but I'm wanted back on planet Earth.

Teed up well enough for you? :)
