The FCC could be about to help robo-callers invade our privacy even more by giving them easier access to us through “ringless voicemails.” What would happen is that, say, a political campaign would call our phone and, without its even ringing, would go directly to voicemail so they can give us their pitch. That would bypass our apps that screen for spam, warnings on our phone’s screen of potential junk calls, and caller ID (which is useless anyway in identifying spammers).
They tried this same thing four years ago but were stopped. We must stop them again.
