FCC Bans Robocalls, Texts
5th August 2019
The Federal Communications Commission voted to approve laws that ban fraudulent text messages and international robocalls last week.
The new rules in effect neutralize loopholes in the Truth in Caller ID Act, which banned spoofing domestic calls but made it hard for the FCC to prosecute against perpetrators of scam text messages and international calls. Now, the FCC can monitor and penalize “bad actors” behind these types of schemes.
Well, let’s see if it has any effect.

It’s a lovely gesture, but I won’t hold my breath waiting for actual results.
