Comment on Does the national Do Not Call Registry actually work? (USA)

Political campaign-related autodialed or prerecorded voice calls, including autodialed live calls, autodialed texts, and prerecorded voice messages, are prohibited to cell phones, pagers, or other mobile devices without the called party’s prior express consent

Most companies/political callers don’t do regular manual calling anymore… They pretty much all use some sort of system to automatically dial numbers

I’m aware. Several issues there.

They use / buy lists of people to robo-dial

They don’t bother opt-out request handling on those lists reliably

The opt-out process is per-campaign, not party-wide, so the process is an endless cycle for all party candidates, and even the same ones running in future elections. Because we have no way to our out at the party level, the data is basically always there.

This is by no means am exhaustive list.

  Yup, you’ve hit it on the head The worst is when they don’t handle consent withdrawal properly…
