The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has axed 1,200 voice service providers from the US phone network for failing to meet the rules protecting users from malicious and illegal calls, known as robocalls.

The removal from the Robocall Mitigation Database (RMD) means that all other voice service and intermediate providers must cease accepting all calls directly from the companies that do not meet the requirements.

With this administration?! Sounds like 1200 voice service providers didn’t pay their protection money.

While reading this I did imagine that everyone would attribute this to Trump, and obviously that really sucks.
