Amazon's customer service backdoor

Keep in mind too that Caller ID is trivially blockable (and blocked caller id isn't remarkable enough to be super suspicious), and it's also easily within the capability of many of the 4chan/gg griefers to spoof "correct" Caller ID numbers as well.

Caller ID shouldn't be blockable, these days. It's a big ridiculous problem that we've defaulted to "you can intrude with communications anonymously" - and phone calls are definitely intrusive.

I'm pretty much a hair away from blocking all calls without caller ID at my house so I can reliably lock out the remaining spam callers.

By "gg" you mean what? Gamer gate?

I assume so. The "gamergate are women-hating harassers" misconception is still alive and well.
