Re:FCC hits robocaller with agency's largest-ever fine of $120M by ajmurmann on Saturday June 24, 2017 @05:47PM (#14627626)
How is it that we haven't solved this yet the same way we solved email and blog spam? Why can't I mark a number as spam on my phone and if "enough" people do that the number will be automatically blocked. This could just beer implemented by a single phoned manufacturer and already have a significant impact. Not mentioning of one of the big ones like Apple did it.

The Google dialer already marks numbers as spam. If a call comes from a spam number, the dialer pop-up is red instead of green and says "Suspected spam call". There is also a "report not spam" button.
