Supreme Court sides with Facebook in narrowing the federal robocall ban

I had a fun time this past year with someone using my email on Amazon. It took many calls and escalations over a few weeks before getting the problem fixed, largely because I wasn't the account owner. I have no idea why my email is allowed to be permanently attached to any account without verification.

Can't you do a password reset and take over the account if you control the email? That might be illegal, but you'd probably be OK as long as you don't charge their credit card. Or, you know, it's been awhile since you used Amazon and you actually did forget the password, right? wink wink

Thankfully no, I tried it and it requires additional account information. But I was also very honest when I called Amazon about the issue. Since I had shipping addresses, order history, and names of the other person I wonder if social engineering would have worked. Without their phone or credit card I think probably not.
