Texts From Facebook Aren t Illegal Robocalls, High Court Rules – Courthouse News Service

(AP Photo/Jenny Kane, File) WASHINGTON (CN) Ruling against a man who for months received messages about attempted Facebook log-ins from an unregistered device, the U.S. Supreme Court found Thursday that the social media giant’s account-specific security system is not the same thing as an illegal robocall that uses an automatic dialing system. The opinion emphasizes that in 1991 when the Telephone Consumer Protection Act was adopted Congress in particular was worried abut the harm of robocallers tying up emergency lines at random, or every line at a single location. This is partly why TCPA-restricted systems by definition need to include autodialers.

Supreme Court throws out lawsuit accusing Facebook of sending unwanted text messages

Credit: Bloomberg The U.S. Supreme Court limited the reach of the decades-old federal ban on robocalls, throwing out a lawsuit that accused Facebook Inc. of repeatedly sending unwanted text messages. The unanimous decision overturns a lower court ruling that Facebook said would have put companies at risk of massive damage awards for relatively small transgressions. It’s a victory for business trade groups that rallied around the Facebook appeal. Writing for the court, Justice Sonia Sotomayor said the man suing Facebook, Noah Duguid, was pressing such an expansive interpretation of the robocall law that it would have covered some calls and texts placed by modern mobile phones. She said Congress didn’t intend such a sweeping impact when it passed the Telephone Consumer Protection Act in 1991.
