So I got a phone call yesterday from a recording offering me…. I dunno. I get to the point where the recording says “Don’t hang up” or the sound of the ship’s horn or the ALERT that “The FBI….”
As I said, we get those daily even though 1) We’re on the no-call list and 2) Calling people on the no-call list is illegal.
Sure, when state governments got the company behind Rachel from Account Services, that stopped them for a little while and that particular flavor of illegal call has stopped, but other companies continue to ply the illegal trade.
Kind of like gun restrictions, hey?
People who follow the law follow the law, and people who do not do not. And making the people who follow the law follow more laws does not make the people who do not start to follow the law.
That’s QED stuff there, but in the Internet age, QED is a punchline marker.
Also like gun restrictions, governments exempt themselves from do not call list prohibitions.
