Google offers to leave robocallers hanging on the telephone

I'd be careful. It'll probably soon reach the point where ANY bit of voice you emit will be twisted around to produce a plausible "yes" for them.

"The international standard of phone manners requires that the caller introduces themselves first!"

I tried something like that. Turned out it was a live caller who'd been in the trenches and countered, "Actually, the standard demands the callee simply stand there and take it as they have no legal control over the conversation. If you wish to speak to our legal team where you can cite the actual law that states your case, I'll be happy to transfer you. Otherwise..." and kept going.
