Maybe This Time
President Trump has signed a new anti-robocall bill, which sets a fine of $10,000 per spam call. Maybe this time it will work. Robocalls are the antithesis of good PR. They are intrusive, annoying and frequently fraudulent. Companies do it because it is so inexpensive and if they get a few hits out of 10,000 calls, it pays off. Make no mistake. Robocallers will try to end-run around the new protection systems, and some will succeed. But, if billions of calls per year shrink to a few hundred million, that will be positive. I, for one, am eager to learn how the new law works. Like millions of others, I'm tired of receiving greetings in Chinese, and I'm angry when the same call comes in several times a month. Robocalls are a scourge and deserve to be stopped. Now, if politicians would abide by their own law, that would be good too.
