But if the BIMI carrot gets people to properly adopt DMARC I’m all for it.
Maybe. But maybe people have by now learned that there is lots of junk mail not worth opening.
I personally don't answer the phone any more unless the caller is on my contacts list. I do the same for email, although some of them I read. But with this new feature I would have a clear rule, don't even open it unless it comes from verified address.
This new feature would mean I have 3 types of incoming emails:
1. Mail from people in my contacts list
2. Mail from people who are not in my contacts-list but who are verified by Google.
3. Everything else, is junk
My Android phone is marking automated calls about my union's town hall meetings as "suspected spam".
Now, I do acknowledge real people who belong to the union are almost certainly reporting them as spam, and there's no way to convince all of them they are wrong.
Or, of course, people who are not current members could be PO'ed about getting calls.
And it is also true that I don't bother to attend these town halls myself.
But even considering all that, I got kind of upset that I couldn't find a way to vote for the calls not being spam.
Searching the internet produced a tentative verdict that you can't mark a call deemed possibly spam as non spam, only a call Google says is definitely spam.
Maybe adding the number to my address book would be a practical solution, but I'm not sure if the number stays the same or if caller ID is blocked sometimes.
I thought about contacting Pro Publica or someone, but apathy and futility won the day.
I can't even be confident in this on my pixel 6a, the sands of android features/ui seem to be ever-shifting. :) but this rang a bell and I thiiiiiink the above happened to me last month.
