Congress just proposed a bill to attack robocalls by leveraging the TCPA that is really dangerous but, for some reason, both parties seem to think it is a good idea.
In fairness, the TRACED Act–proposed jointly by Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey, a Democrat, and Senator John Thune, a South Dakota Republican– is a good news/extremely bad news situation. The good news is that it seeks to give the FCC the authority it has always needed–and never had–to require call identity validation and cut down on spoofed calls. That’s super critical stuff and a really big deal.
