The FCC wants to cut down on pesky robocalls, but some businesses fear it could result in carriers also blocking automated calls from legitimate firms

Some businesses are pushing back against a regulatory proposal that would allow phone companies to block unwanted robocalls.

Representatives for trade bodies that lobby on behalf of debt collectors, banks, health-care providers and other businesses met with Federal Communications Commission officials last week, urging them to delay a planned June 6 vote on the matter and instead seek public comment, people who attended the meeting said.

Block all please.!!!

Who gives a fuck, blockem

Maybe pay a live human to make those calls?

Oh, I'm sorry, you lost me at 'legitimate' and 'automated'. Finally grow a pair Ajit and do the right thing.

No more robocalls and no more Pai!

The FCC should just cut down those robocalls. No more excuses!

Works extremely well in Germany, where companies can be fined up to 350.000 € for unsolicited phone calls.

If we can fly into space, then we can fix this. No excuses.

Any business doing robocalls is NOT a legitimate business.

Hey, “legitimate firms”, who ever you are, I don’t want robocalls from you either.

The FCC won't stop anything. They hold public meetings to mask their true intent...to continue to support the millions of shit businesses that prey on the public...the Era of the American Aristocracy.

result in pesky calls was a number to stop them .... Legit firm should find another way

that's the cost of cleaning up what should have never been allowed in the 1st place
