Commission rounds up a posse, tackles 90+ separate
actions
Le Deluge
The Federal Trade Commission announced its latest major initiative against
robocallers, those shadowy denizens of the phone-line ether that
have plagued consumers since the internet subsumed all worldly
communication.
And they have it coming; the problem of unwanted calls is
growing at an astounding rate. Back in December 2017, we
noted that the Federal Communications Commission claimed that
consumers were receiving 2.4 billion unwanted calls every month.
Today, according to YouMail's Robocall
Index, the number of calls has increased to 4.4 billion per
month. That's 145 million per day, 6 million per second ... you
get the idea.
