Can you explain how a car accident lead to this?
Exchange contact info with someone after the accident then that someone is extremely petty. That’s my guess.
Freedom or something.
Don’t ever answer private numbers. This way you’ll be respecting their privacy.
I’ve never understood why things like this have to be a part of public record. Traffic accidents, traffic citations, bankruptcies, buying a house, and even getting divorced.
All of those are very personal things that should never be a part of public record. And even if they are, the PII should not.
Simple improvement: Add a fee to access the personally identifiable information. And make the record of accessing the information public.
Not perfect, but better.
I believe some things (like DMV records) are fee based. But the fee is nominal and wouldn’t stop any predator from doing bad things if they are so inclined. The only thing adding fees does is to financially incentivize keeping the data online and accessible to anybody who pays.
Say that under any thread about any billionaire and watch your comment get double digit downvotes
I don’t like the existence of billionaires anymore than the next reasonably-sane pleb does. But someone’s financial/social status should never be a consideration to their constitutional right of privacy. You’ll just have to find some other way to harangue them for their behavior.
Highly recommend getting on the national do not call list https://www.donotcall.gov/ . Doesn’t stop all spam calls, but it shrunk the amount I got at least
This is why having a virtual number is good - my google voice number catches the overwhelming majority of the spam
That’s what I use it for. I really want to find an alternative provider (Voice and YouTube are the last Google products I use), but haven’t settled on anything yet.
Tell me if you find something ever. 🫶🙈🤜🤛
What’s a good non google alternative though?
I use mysudo. It’s not free, but pretty cheap at $10 a year.
Normal phone number + carrion is decent
You can also block calls from unrecognized numbers. Doesn’t stop them from being able to leave a voicemail though which is both good and bad
From that screen-> three dots -> settings -> blocked numbers -> block calls from unknown numbers.
