      Honestly I think that’s reasonable. Automated messages can be text only. Restricting voice does not harm any legitimate business that isn’t trying to trick people.

    From reading the article, “pre-recorded” and “artificial” voices are already prohibited for unsolicited calls, so I don’t see what this ruling would actually change other than a slight clarification. It’s not like robocallers are actually prosecuted in any meaningful way.

      It actually is prosecuted, but you have to file a complaint first.

      The only catch is that it has to be from a domestic call center. They have teams whose sole job is preventing TCPA violations, because it’s a few grand per violation, so it doesn’t happen super often.

    And that will get revoked come Jan by the GQP. A quick bullshit lawsuit about how it’s against the first ammendment and corporations’ free speech is hampered.

      Ah yes, corporations’ free speech, the ultimate goal upon which our fascist paradise is founded.

      I hate this timeline.
