Why not put the onus on the last mile?

If you get spam calls, your carrier is liable unless they can point to the source of the disruption. If they can't point to where they got it from, they are liable, and so on. If they can identify them but they're unwilling to pay out, their link to you is still liable.

Eventually, the buck has to stop somewhere.

If you facilitated criminal to directly connect with me - you’re liable.

Telcos should be liable for “call laundering” similar as banks as for money laundering.

If you don’t know identity of person calling me - you’re responsible for damages.

Problem solved.
