> I think a generally useful framing for these kinds of criminal enterprises is comparison to US wage theft: nearly the same amount is stolen from US workers each year in just the top 10 states[1]. This doesn’t somehow excuse phone fraud, but you don’t see the same kind of grousing for cutting Fortune 500s off of the Internet.
Cutting F500s off the internet would do nothing about wage theft. There is considerable advocacy for strong action to bring wage theft under control, too. So, I’d say this analogy fails its purpose on multiple levels.
