The Strengths and Weaknesses of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act

Summary:

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) aims to curb intrusive telemarketing practices, providing consumers with control over unsolicited calls and regulatory oversight by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). While the Act has successfully reduced unsolicited telemarketing calls, it faces challenges due to technological limitations and a surge in frivolous lawsuits. The limitations require legislative attention to ensure more effective consumer protection.
