The behavior of the phone network is set by government regulation. If you refuse to service allowable calls, you are heavily fined or kicked off the network. The government has to update the rules.

I tried to find these rules yesterday (for another comment chain) but couldn't. As far as I could tell, nothing stops the carrier from silently dropping a likely scam call without receiver's knowledge or consent. Do you know which specific regulations would prohibit that?
