The Federal Communications Commission is considering a request by a conservative group to loosen rules on political robocalls, including those with artificial intelligence-generated voices, before November’s midterm elections.
Federal law currently bans most robocalls to cellphones unless the caller gets consent beforehand. The petition calls for a waiver that would allow political groups to use artificial or prerecorded voices in unsolicited wireless calls.
The Republican-led FCC advanced the request for public comment and could rule on it as soon as late October.
I’ve always assumed the Republican party’s primary goal was self-enrichment. But at this point this is all so absurd it’s starting to feel like their primary objective is simply to do whatever is worst for Americans based off of some internal bet they’ve made with themselves.
It’s all just so comically detrimental to our nation. Literally every single move they make. It’s almost like they’re America’s enemy or something. I can’t think of another enemy that’s doing more harm to us.
