>It does keep a log… of caller IDs. The problem isn’t the volume of data, it is that the system isn’t setup to authenticate callers so you can’t tie a spam call to any persistent identity to block

Except the system is set up to authenticate callers[0] and that's been in place (at least in the US) for almost a year.

That it hasn't been as effective as it should be is another issue, but the technology exists and is (or should be) in place as specified by the law.
