The Infinite Brief

The comedian/political commentator cited statistics showing that robocalls and spam calls are on the rise; in fact, half of all mobile calls are expected to be spam robocalls by the end of this year.

The percentage of spam phone calls has jumped from 3.7% of total calls in 2017 to 29.2% in 2018 — and call protection company First Orion predicts that number will hit 44.6% by early 2019 before rising to half of all calls by year-end.
