    If you’re in America you can add your name to the National Do Not Call Registry. Telemarketers seem to be ignoring it in recent years, but for many years I received almost zero spam calls. The feds just have to be prodded into enforcing it again. The penalties can be up to $1000 per call for high-volume offenders, like the autodialer services small businesses subscribe to.

      Is that even a thing anymore or did that also get demolished by DOGE? It seems like anything that benefits companies but screws consumers and citizens is being dismantled

        Pretty sure it’s still a thing since the website still works. When DOGE shuts things down they tend to trash or turn off the sites.
