The US Do Not Call registry is offline (donotcall.gov)

I fully expected that this registry is an automated system.

I'm struggling to understand why this system would be offline while the FTS website is still online: https://www.ftc.gov/

Is there a technical reason for the registry to go offline, or is it an intentional casualty of the power struggle in DC?

Does the do not call system actually work?

Considering I still get a ton of spam calls, I really wonder how well it worked in the first place.

That’ll save all the spam callers a little time not checking and then ignoring it.

Didn’t work anyway

I know I am a bit late to the party, nothing of value was lost here.

I never signed up for it because I know this is really a method for giving telemarketers a list of good phone numbers. I hardly get any calls were people I know who signed up gets lots.

That is because these companies opened up subsidiaries in foreign countries and used the list to call people. Many calls people I know get are from spoofed numbers located in other countries.
