EPIC urges FCC to reject exemption allowing unconsented political robocalls

Severity

EPIC has filed reply comments with the FCC opposing a Club for Growth petition that would exempt political calls to wireless numbers from TCPA prior express consent requirements, including calls using artificial or prerecorded voices and AI-generated voices. The FCC Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau sought comment on 4 September 2026. EPIC asks the FCC to deny the petition in its entirety, citing the risk of AI-driven disinformation, the lack of a workable definition of a political call, and existing robocall volumes. No CVEs or technical vulnerabilities are involved; this is a regulatory matter.
