FCC bars providers for non-compliance with robocall protections

EVE Online has had a functional anti-spam system for many years: it costs you some money to contact someone who doesn't have you in their contacts.

The amount is configurable and the feature can be turned off.

You as the receiver keep 70% of the fee.

Think of how quickly spam would go away.

Or just make callers cover all the costs, like in some countries. Still, I really wish there were an option to charge incoming callers as you suggested—because honestly, about 90% of calls I get outside my circle are unsolicited. That way, only the 10% that truly matter would reach me. Right now, I’m on a strict “no-ring” policy: if a call turns out to be legitimate, I’ll call back. But nobody gets real-time PSTN access to me anymore—it’s simply not sustainable.

Wait, who covers the cost in the US?
