India forces caller-ID apps to feed spam reports to telcos

English

India's Telecom Regulatory Authority has mandated that caller-ID and call-management apps share user spam reports with telecom operators to enhance anti-spam measures. Truecaller, a prominent spam-blocking app, has criticized the ruling as anti-competitive, arguing it unfairly transfers valuable data to telecom companies while retaining restrictions on spam labeling for certain government-designated numbers.
