As much as this is a fucking privacy nightmare, if it were an Opt-in only service it could be a godsend for the vulnerable and elderly.

solo OP ,

The elderly have nothing to lose anymore since google accidentally deleted their pensions

Given the rarity in which I use my phone as a phone, they can knock themselves out with the bot call hangups that make up almost 100% of my call logs.

Prevent 100% of crime by having a police officer in your home 24/7.

I already have a system where, if someone calls me, it’s probably a scam.

Bluefruit ,

If they leave a voicemail then its more legit but yea same here. I’d rather not have my phone calls be used as AI training.

That’s how I know it’s real. If they don’t leave a message they don’t care enough. The only people I want to talk to are like my doctors offices. My friends and family text and message.

metaStatic ,

my system is if you're not in my contacts my phone doesn't ring.

DarkThoughts ,

I literally ignore all unknown numbers. I also ignore the doorbell if I don't expect someone or something. If it is important then just send me a letter.

One of the greatest moments in my life was when I was a young adult and realized I could just ignore someone at my door and leave them standing there. I didn’t invite your ass to just show up so fuck right off.

Phone calls too. You better ask via text or something first if you expect me to stop what I’m doing to listen to your bullshit. Voicemail? Oh no, I never completed the setup so you can’t leave a message. So sorry!

Uninvited visitors are the real world version of a pop up ad. They get zero consideration from me
