Isn't this what the FCC is for? Can't they require providers to update their standards for the public?
It would be interesting if they could implement a system where you could dial (555-555-5555) or something after receiving a robocall, which would log your last received call as being fraudulent and flag it for providers to shadow ban it. Would that work for spoofing caller ID?

Bloody hell, for some reason this sentence just fills me with glee. I'm not even American, but it's so good to see government agencies get involved like this.
That's a great suggest, I would love to see this. That's how it should work. Just like the flag button on this website. If enough people "flag" a number then it gets effectively disabled.
As you say, it would have to happen at the FCC level as individual telephone networks don't actually know for real where a call originated from.
Wouldn't that be subject to caller ID spoofing? For example we get calls from randomly generated local area code numbers (according to caller ID) but they actually originate out of state.
