Recent court rulings and regulatory updates in the field of Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) compliance have been making waves. One court refused to treble damages due to the defendant's past conduct, while another expanded jurisdiction by rejecting Bristol-Myers Squibb's argument in a TCPA class action case. The FCC has made significant moves, confirming that TCPA bars AI-generated voices and adopting new rules for consent revocation rights in texts. Additionally, the FCC and the UK have joined forces to combat robocalls and robotexts, emphasizing consumer privacy protection. Class action lawsuits under the Class Action Fairness Act (CAFA) have also been under scrutiny, with the Fifth Circuit providing insights on the local controversy exception. Notably, courts have dismissed TCPA claims against warranty providers, stating that 'dead air' allegations are insufficient to plead Automatic Telephone Dialing System (ATDS) use.
