Telephone is starting to be a fundamentally broken method of communication because of the robocalls and scams. I no longer can accept phone calls from anyone calling from number I can’t backtrack or isn’t already in my address book. Even backtracking is starting to fall a part due to phone number spoofing 😒.

I wonder what the next step will be? Will Apple/Google just make “phone” another app we can mostly ignore and block its notifications? Will we mandate operators to do something about this?
