In Europe, every phone number is linked to someone's passport. This really cuts down on spam. It's hard to round up enough homeless guys to use their ID to buy SIM cards to make it worthwhile to spam from.
If you received spam and you can prove in court, you can sue them, they look up whose number it is and they have to pay a fine.
It's really not complicated. All it takes is for the regulatory body to be merely grifting off of taxpayers instead of completely owned by billionaires.
