The FCC’s Enforcement Bureau removed over 1,200 voice service providers from the Robocall Mitigation Database to curb illegal robocalls, enforcing STIR/SHAKEN caller ID authentication requirements and supported by state-level efforts like Operation Robocall Roundup. While this disrupts noncompliant providers, the article notes limitations: STIR/SHAKEN applies only to IP-based U.S. networks and cannot prevent overseas spoofed calls or guarantee callers’ legitimacy. It advises users to leverage carrier analytics, send unknown callers to voicemail, and use call-blocking tools for additional protection.
