What exactly are you fooling yourself into thinking I’m defending?

Totally get it. I don’t expect you to believe we’re on the same side. ;)

You’ve shown your bias/emotion drives your decisions in this regard, and I’ve shown that mine doesn’t.

Nice meeting you, and good luck in the rest of your day!

You simply don’t understand the issue beyond what you’ve read, so technically your opinion is literally moot, although I hate to say that because obviously arguing opinion at all is mostly a fools errand.

This isn’t a black-and-white issue, but headlines and blogs won’t teach you that, because that’s not engaging, and clicks rule.

Your suggestion is like banning alcohol manufacturers because kids get access through back-channels and drive drunk. Nice making your acquaintance, nonetheless.

FWIW: I don’t use twillio, but know plenty of non-robo-call companies (that have hundreds of thousands of customers who also are) relying heavily on it. It’s as simple as that. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Anyone can get around the checks through simple botting. You’re asking to resolve an unsolvable problem by burning the building down.

IMO your personal experience works more as a hindrance than a boon in this exact scenario. Objectively, you’re probably too close to it, tbh.

I’m not supporting anything, because I’m not taking a biased/jaded/obtuse perspective on the matter, no matter how I feel personally about robocalls.

See the difference?

Your personal emotions aside, this is easier said than done since plenty of non-robo call businesses rely on Twillio for their back-end. IT security is man-made, and therefore there is no silver bullet when it comes to stopping workarounds.

Not sure why you support all the jobs and small businesses this move would actually crush…

Are we sure we have a firm understanding of the entirety of our ecosystem to play with it as much as we already do? Doesn’t take much cyanide to kill an entire person, either.

Or care.

It won’t be until smart home packages become much more normalized by builders, imo.
