In an effort to strengthen regulations against the ongoing annoyance of unlawful robocalls, 47 attorneys general have formed a bipartisan group, and California Attorney General Rob Bonta has actively joined them. This action relates to a letter of support for proposed regulations that would strengthen consumer safeguards that was sent to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). According to the Office of the Attorney General, these restrictions center on the FCC’s Robocall Mitigation Database, a vital resource for monitoring and reducing unlawful robocall activity.
“In addition to being bothersome, robotcalls have the potential to enable frauds that cause actual financial losses for Californians. According to the Office of the Attorney General, Bonta stated, “This is a national issue, and we require national solutions.” The FCC’s proposed guidelines are an extension of previous attempts to improve the database’s effectiveness in order to counteract these disruptions. These suggestions, which aim to effectively prevent and possibly reduce illegal robocall traffic, are supported by Bonta in order to protect the public from electronic harassment.
Bonta’s involvement in the FCC’s campaign is only one facet of his larger fight against robocalls, which is in line with his commitment to defend consumer rights in California and push for similar policies nationally. He is one of 51 nonpartisan attorneys general who are part of the Anti-Robocall Multistate Litigation Task Force, which is entrusted with bringing legal action against companies that illegally route large amounts of robocall traffic across the US.
We observe active participation in the fight against these intrusive calls among Bonta’s recent actions. He sent a warning letter to a telecom provider last month for allegedly sending unlawful robocall traffic, which includes calls that falsely pose as representatives of the government. His involvement in delivering a warning letter to a business that was allegedly conducting fraudulent election robocalls to people in New Hampshire is also notable, as the Office of the Attorney General points out.
