Mobile operators can get right without a court to block the number from which spam is sent via SMS or via instant messengers WhatsApp and Viber, the newspaper “Izvestia”. A proposal was voiced at a hearing of the Public Chamber. Currently spam blocking only short SMS-numbers.
First Deputy Chairman OP Safety Dmitry Chugunov said that for the implementation of the measures required to create a database of spam numbers, which will be the same for all operators. Technical details will be discussed separately.
« If a person is locked by accident, he turns to the telecom operator, which takes an expeditious trial. Here it is possible to draw an analogy with social networks accounts. When the user comes spam, its administrator account is frozen pending clarification of the circumstances », – said Chugunov.
A spokesman for Viber messenger Elena Grachev said that the administration of this service supports the initiatives to combat spam . If it is necessary, they are ready to give their base numbers from which to send spam to these numbers could make into a single database and block-level operators.
The Coordinator of the initiative group “StopSpam” and initiator of public hearings Public Chamber Denis Kalugin sees another use for the base of telephone numbers. He believes that it is necessary to create a service that banks or collection agencies have the opportunity to check whether the number belongs to a subscriber who took a bank loan, or no longer exists. Kalugin bought his daughter the phone and SIM-card. After some time, the number began ringing collectors demanding rudely to return the loan. In Kalugin has data showing that the monthly headers sent 100 million SMS. Of these, 27 million do not reach the addressee. It is, in fact, direct losses for them.
