No, it's past time for this kind of service to be regulated and taken control. It affects the whole US society, makes people less productive, less happy and less satisfied for the gain of a few.

Why is this a mainly American phenomena? How do you fix this without depending on the old whack-a-mole game of product companies adding features to fight the spam war?

I know that e-mail spam is difficult to regulate and control but other kinds of telecommunications are easier, phone calls being one just by being centralised in a few companies routing them.
