Summary

Nomorobo, a Twilio-powered service, successfully blocked 15.1 million illegal calls in 2014, a significant achievement in combating robocalls. Aaron Foss, its creator, took a bold step to raise awareness about the issue by printing out each blocked call and presenting it to lobbyists and regulators, including the FCC. He argued that telecom providers' claims of needing to let all calls through are misleading, as practices like blacklisting can effectively block unwanted calls. By leveraging the public request for comment process, Aaron had a meeting with the FCC to push back against misinformation and misinformation about robocalling.
