Caller ID
One thing I've always wondered is why someone has the ability to hide their caller ID? I mean, if someone's calling me, it's similar to them visiting my home, and that means they have no right to anonymity. Why would law protect the right of a caller to remain anonymous considering the person they are calling would be known by the caller?
That brings me to my next question of why number spoofing is legal and broadly supported for analog, Cellular, digital, and VOIP phones? If the network(s) hosting the connection knows the true identity of both endpoints, why would they be complicit in transmitting fake information?
Anyhow, just wondering aloud as someone/something has been spoofing my number for no apparent reason, and it's facilitated by the networks for no apparent reason.
