Big News for Businesses That Call or Text!
Today, the Supreme Court helped clarify a major question that has led to many multi-million dollar lawsuits and settlements. The decision should pave the way for easier compliance for companies that have calling or text message programs. Specifically, in Facebook, Inc. v. Duguid, the Supreme Court held that to be an “autodialer” under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, the technology must use a random or sequential number generator (which is a much narrower interpretation than some courts have applied over the past several years). Based on the oral augments when the case was before the Supreme Court late last year, we predicted that this would be the most likely outcome (see our previous post). InfoLawGroup is looking deeper into the decision, so stay tuned, we'll post more details soon.
