People are annoyed with the robo/spam calls as there are so many calls, so a cap could help end the volume of such calls. This follows with other topics with a cap it helps to not infringe on people’s privacy and not allowing to much information onto the internet. Read Less

    I absolutely think there should be – there needs to be more protections for consumers’ privacy.
