Requiring telcos to assist in fighting spam calls and wire fraud is not "censorship" by even the most lenient use of the word - it's saving elderly or non-techie citizens from being stolen from. Nobody mentioned backdoors or ML algorithms, either - stop strawmanning.

No it's not. Why would you want to give telcos even more power? Let dumb pipes be dumb pipes. The whole idea that telcos should moderate incoming calls is just begging for for non-call-neutrality and pay-for-play. HN is obsessed with net-neutrality but apparently the same sentiment does not extend to other communication platforms.
