Stop searching for sex please
Google has responded to the FCC's request for details about its Google Voice service and has said it is only restricting calls to just under 100 phone numbers which have been identified as "high-cost traffic pumping" sex lines.
After several back and forths over the past month between the FCC, Google and AT&T on the issue of net neutrality and how to deal with traffic pumping, Google has finally provided the federal organization with a rather detailed response to its questions over why Google Voice blocked certain phone numbers.
The firm also claims to have come up with a clever way to restrict calls to certain cash sucking sex lines, which purportedly accounted for 26 per cent of Google Voices monthly connection costs.
In an official Google blog post, the firm's media counsel, Richard Whit wrote "In our response today to the FCC's inquiry about Google Voice, we announced that our engineers have developed a tailored solution for restricting calls to specific numbers engaged in what some have called high-cost "traffic pumping" schemes, like adult chat and "free" conference call lines."
"We went to work on this fix because earlier this year, we noticed an extremely high number of calls were being made to an extremely small number of destinations," said Whit.
