The Federal Communications Commission is considering a request by a conservative group to loosen rules on political robocalls, including those with artificial intelligence-generated voices, before November’s midterm elections.
Federal law currently bans most robocalls to cellphones unless the caller gets consent beforehand. The petition calls for a waiver that would allow political groups to use artificial or prerecorded voices in unsolicited wireless calls.
The Republican-led FCC advanced the request for public comment and could rule on it as soon as late October.
They’re so unbelievably less shitty than Republicans I really don’t see how people are confused. The differences are so stark I can only assume the “both sides” assholes are foreign agents and/or bots and/or severely brain damaged.
