51 Attorneys General warn phone providers over robocalls; FCC to close authentication loophole.

A coalition of 51 bipartisan Attorneys General has warned nine phone service providers about allegedly routing unlawful robocalls, demanding they stop. The FCC plans to close a loophole in caller authentication rules and has published new rules requiring providers to block likely illegal calls based on a "reasonable" do-not-originate list. The goal is to protect Americans from scams like government imposters and debt relief schemes.
