On July 9, 2020, the Supreme Court granted writ of certiorari in the case of Facebook Inc. v. Duguid, et. al., on the question of whether an "automatic telephone dialing system" ("ATDS") under the TCPA covers only devices that send messages or make calls to randomly or sequentially generated phone numbers, or whether the term more broadly includes all devices with the capacity to store automatically dialed numbers. https://tinyurl.com/y27f5wh2 -- Bill Horne Telecom Digest Moderator ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20200724003706.GA23460@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2020 00:37:06 +0000 From: Moderator <telecomdigestsubmissions@remove-this.telecom-digest.org> Subject: Know Your Rights to Paid Leave Under the Federal Families First Coronavirus Act Need information about paid leave and paid sick time under the Families First Coronavirus Act?
