Everybody hates #robocalls. But, despite tech reporting being willing to give the #FCC leeway, this new measure is not to stop robocalls, it won’t do a damn thing to stop robocalls. What it does is make burner phones illegal.

Burners are an integral part of many social justice actions. Protestors use them to record #ICE and other #cops. We include them in “Go Bags” to let abused women and children escape. They allow for anonymity.

They are a thorn in the side of the panopticon, and they are moving to eliminate them.

Stock up kids.

@MissConstrue So the FCC is pretending to not know ow modern spam call centers actually operate? Because they sure as hell don't dial out using cell phones!

@EvilKiru Freaking Exactly! Most robocalls don’t even originate in the country where they are received. This does nothing, absolutely nothing to stop call centers.

It’s insulting that they would even push this narrative out, it’s so unbelievable..
