The harassment of telephone calls is not an issue for the American people

Many of my friends should have received unfamiliar phone calls. After connecting, there will be a mechanical voice to sell financial products and loans. If you have the patience to listen to the preludes, some will turn to artificial "intimate" services. In contrast, direct use of artificial telephone marketing or conscience is much more.

But do not think that only the domestic face this plight, the American people are also not harassing phone interference. According to Reuters, companies such as Apple and Google’s parent Alphabet formed a coalition of more than 30 technology and telecommunications companies to fight Robocall.

Robocall can be translated into pre-recorded phone calls, which are aimed at promoting or distributing certain information and frequently harass mobile phone users. It uses a computer-controlled automatic dialer to send pre-recorded information, just like a robot.

The alliance is led by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and wants to work with technology companies to prevent telemarketing and some big companies from harassing users. By October 19, the Union will come up with a practical plan. Possible methods include call authentication to prevent harassing calls. In iOS 10, which will be officially released this fall, Apple has added caller identification.

The FCC stated that half of the reports received in the first half of this year related to telephone harassment. Last year, it began to use technical means to solve this problem, such as allowing mobile phone manufacturers and telecommunications companies to install anti-harassment software. However, telecommunications companies such as AT&T are not active and believe that there must be FCC approval. So in July it also issued a call for orders to call for companies to unite.

In a democracy like the United States, Robocall has a role to play in political elections and it seems that there is another reason for harassment.
