Safner, Russell H. Fox FCC Expands Anti-Spoofing Rules The FCC unanimously adopted revised anti-spoofing rules, implementing part of the RAY BAUM's Act, at its August meeting. As we anticipated in last month's TCPA Digest, the Second Report and Order ("Second R&O") extends the FCC's Truth in Caller ID rules to encompass malicious spoofing activities originating outside the U.S. that are directed at consumers within the U.S. It also expands the scope of communications covered by the Truth in Caller ID rules beyond telecommunications services and interconnected voice over Internet Protocol ('VoIP') services to include text messaging and alternative voice services, such as one-way VoIP services. https://www.mintz.com/insights-center/viewpoints/2776/2019-08-tcpa-regulatory-update-fcc-expands-anti-spoofing-rules?utm_source=Mondaq&utm_medium=syndication&utm_campaign=inter-article-link -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <1D598FFF-57A8-43DC-821C-4688C90BA897@roscom.com> Date: 29 Aug 2019 11:09:42 -0400 From: "Monty Solomon" <monty@roscom.com> Subject: Spokeo Has Teeth!: Eleventh Circuit Holds Receipt Of A Single Text Message Does Not Confer Article Three Standing By Squire Patton Boggs The Supreme Court's landmark decision in Spokeo v. Robins, 136S. Ct. 1540 (2016), seemingly held so much promise for TCPAWorld. After all, how could a single phone call or text message create a real injury in fact? That should seemingly put an end to abusive class action litigation where the plaintiffs command multi-million dollar settlements despite not suffering one iota of harm. But then courts got creative, and found ways of inventing harm where none really existed. https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=73e9a6f1-9fbb-462e-8372-96b8a42189dc ------------------------------ ********************************************* End of telecom Digest Mon, 02 Sep 2019
