FCC finalizes rule letting consumers revoke consent for specific robocall categories

O que aconteceu

The Federal Communications Commission amended its robocall rules to allow consumers to withdraw consent for particular categories of informational robocalls while keeping consent for others. Callers must honor category‑specific revocation requests and provide an exclusive method for revocation. The exemption for financial institutions was also updated to permit fraud alerts without consent.

Por que isso importa para confiança e conformidade
