In China, Xiaomi phone users have a "report spam" button, and if X number of people report that phone number as a spammer, calls from that number get blocked on all other Xiaomi phones. (I think X = 5, but I'm not sure.)

I really wished we had something like that here. One of the only times I'm jealous of my mom's phone.




Truecaller has that feature.


That seems like a nightmare to police.


"Is this number generating call volumes two standard deviations outside the norm?"


How is this different from the report spam or phishing button that is built into Gmail?


Thise spam buttons are a lot more complicated on the back end and they're still a pain for legitimate mailers, which requires google set up and maintain a "feedback loop" program for email providers
