The existence in the first place of robo-dialing loopholes is criminal, and we ought to be able to prosecute it as such. I have no doubt that FCC leaders have accepted bribes to make everyone's phones shittier.

It would be really nice for everyone if we could get a consistent streak of non-criminals leading the FCC.
