Edit: Ah, after reading more from that link you provided; the issue is stuck in your dysfunctional government.
I'm so confused right now.
Does the US not have a central agency that allocates phone numbers and operators? Does that agency not have the ability to shutdown operators who don't follow the rules?
You've broken the HN guidelines an extraordinary number of times in the past, and we cut you an extraordinary amount of slack. But the flamewars you've propagated over the last few days are serious vandalism on HN. I'm frankly shocked that you would continue to do that much damage here after we discussed this so many times.
Since giving you many benefits of the doubt has failed to persuade you to use this site as intended, I've banned your account.
Ah, well, Jingoism is an american word. I guess I just thougt the crowd here could agree that it's retarded to not have a political policy against fake VOIP numbers.
Thanks, but I somehow get the feeling that it's more about not wanting outsiders telling them how to solve problems they know they should have solved a long time ago by themselves.
The level of overarching government control popular in Europe leads to people being killed by millions, rather than in ones and twos.
"not wanting outsiders telling them how to solve problems they know they should have solved a long time ago by themselves."
Perhaps we don't believe that people who were still running fascist slave states until the 1970s and communist slave states until the 1990s are in any kind of moral position to be lecturing us on our "problems".
