Briefly

The average American receives one spam call or text every single day, adding up to tens of billions of robocalls and texts per year.

Robocalls are defined as calls with artificial prerecorded voices, illegal when made to cell phones without consent, or to cell/home phones for telemarketing without consent.
Political robocalls are perceived as legal due to exemptions in laws, unlike commercial robocalls, raising questions about differing regulations for different types of robocalls.
