FCC wants to fine one man almost $13 million for making 6,000 robocalls:
When the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) typically fines robocallers, they're usually operations that involve shady companies. Not so with the agency's latest proposed action, which targets a single individual. On Thursday, the FCC said it wants to fine one man $12,910,000 for carrying out massive robocalling campaigns in six states. In all, the person made more than 6,000 calls in California, Flordia, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa and Virginia using an online tool that allowed them to mask their calls as coming from a local number.
[...] In one campaign, for instance, the person made 827 calls to people in the town of Brooklyn, Iowa, "following the murder of a local college student and the arrest of an illegal alien from Mexico for the crime." [...]The agency says the robocaller's racist messages talked about a "brown horde" that the murder victim would have wanted the town to "kill them all." The robocaller even went so far as to phone the parents of the victim.

Racism isn't really a problem. Lots of people online tell me they don't like hetero white males. No problem at all. I tell 'me to get fucked, and go on about my business. Their likes and dislikes mean nothing to me.
I wonder why so many other people want my approval? Why does it matter to them? Don't they have lives of their own?
