This would be fine if it was one of 100s of bills that improve people's quality of life that they passed. But it isn't, and is only passing because there isn't a "loud commercials" lobby able to stop this, and it makes congress people look like they're getting something done.
How about stopping spam callers from bothering everyone? Or fixing healthcare, the climate?
I bet this one goes through, but I also thought they'd have made legislation to stop the spam phone calls everybody gets now.
Since they already spy on all phone calls, everyone gets these calls and hates them, and the type of companies that make those robocalls wouldn't be paying congresspeople to stop a law banning it. But I guess they're really that useless or can be bought off cheaply.
This is like that moronic bill from whatshiface Kennedy III when he was a house rep that said that no one should be forcefully evicted from their apartment during a pandemic without having their lawyer present. Like it's technically a small attempt at solving the problem, but you are left with a massively sour taste in your mouth afterwards, since it is the usage of government power to solve a problem entirely inadequately.
