Piracy, social media, call centers, robocalls, space, and the FCC: This week in policy
"Justice Clarence Thomas stated that a company is not liable simply for providing services to the public with knowledge that some users will infringe copyrights, indicating broader implications for the tech industry."
"A California jury's decision to hold Meta and YouTube liable for designing addictive platforms marks a significant legal precedent, as it is the first instance of major social media companies being held accountable for product addiction."
"The FCC's new rulemaking proceeding aims to encourage communications providers to bring call center jobs back to the U.S., requiring proficiency in American Standard English and allowing consumers to transfer calls to U.S.-based agents."
"The FCC's initiative to combat illegal robocalls includes tightening rules on how phone numbers are obtained and used, aiming to cut off illegal robocallers at the source."
The Supreme Court ruled that Cox Communications is not liable for copyright infringement by its customers, impacting the tech industry. A California jury found Meta and YouTube liable for creating addictive social media platforms. The FCC initiated rulemaking to encourage U.S.-based call centers and address illegal robocalls. The FCC's policies aim to improve consumer service and reduce robocall scams by tightening regulations on phone number usage and certification.
