A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
I have unsubscribed from their marketing emails at least 8 separate times and THEY. DO. NOT. FUCKING. STOP. THREE TIMES A DAY.
I can't just black hole them because my account alerts come through the SAME noreply address and I'd lose them.
Spectrum shut the FUCK up I don't care about your tv phone and mobile bundles. You exist as a dumb overpriced monopolized pipe that I am forced to subscribe to, carrying gaming and illegal movie torrent traffic and literally NOTHING ELSE. FUCKING DAMN IT.
Well now I don’t know who to believe
Right now the FCC is under regulatory capture and wants to deregulate as much as possible. It’s very excited to approve big mergers and attack journalism. Despite robocalls being a huge issue, they continue to do fuck to really combat them. I don’t know that the FCC did anything with CAN-SPAM in 2025 and given the pervasive capitulation to broadband providers (aside from the squashed and panned attempt at net neutrality) , especially under this administration and its previous iteration, it is not reasonable to assume the FCC gives a shit about cable companies spamming you.
In August the FCC ordered phone providers to stop routing calls from 185 robocallers. In March they “streamlined” switching to fiber networks.
Yeah carr sucks monkey nuts but they have done things for consumers.
Neither of those things are CAN-SPAM enforcement. I’m not trying to move the goalposts on you; that’s what this thread is about.
As for what you linked, the number of robocalls has not gone down and there’s still no real penalty for being one unless you’re terribly egregious (combine both our sources). Neither fiber nor cable have the same protections as phone lines so it doesn’t really matter. All the FCC has done is deregulated the transition, which is a reduction in consumer protection. Remember how we’ve already been charged for the fiber upgrade? Carr just made it easier for us to pay for it yet again.
Well thanks FCC, but we have already tried ordering them to stop and it doesn't work.
