How would that work? Specifically:

- which regulator has the power to fine a company when it didn't do anything wrong?

- how would you prevent abuse, e.g. if I want to destroy your small business, I can just spend a few thousand dollars on a robocall campaign selling your products (not even claiming to be you)

How would that work for you? You would end up in prison.

The solution proposed (fine the product manufacturer) is a response to the difficulty of identifying those behind robocalling/telemarketing.

That same difficulty would arise when trying to identify those abusing the process in the way I described.

There is no difficulty in detection

There is a lack of will

[rahimnathwani]

If there is no difficulty in detection, then there is no need to go after a proxy (the product manufacturers) instead of the perpetrators (the telemarketing companies).

Everyone knowingly involved should go to prison. I thought I made that clear
