The TCPA does not prohibit
all calls or texts. Among other exceptions, it carves out calls or texts made for an emergency purpose. The FCC has determined that Congress intended a “broad” interpretation of this emergency exception.
See
In the Matter of the Tel. Consumer Prot. Act. of 1991, 7 F.C.C. Rcd. 2736 (1992). And Courts interpreting and applying the emergency exception have taken the same view, typically concluding that any calls “necessary in any situation affecting the health and safety of consumers” qualify for the emergency exception.
A recent decision out Washington applied this exception and granted a pharmacy’s motion to dismiss.

By disseminating quality health-related information, the news media can influence individual and collective decisions on vaccination. Sources are people (speaking on their behalf or as members or representatives of an institution or organisation) who offer information or suggestions to journalists when drafting a news story. From the point of view of agenda-setting theory, sources can play a key role in shaping public opinion on specific content, as well as influencing the approach of a news piece (framing). This study examines information sources on vaccines in the Portuguese press, thus identifying those who guided the topics and discussions on vaccination.

The COVID-19 pandemic has put the spotlight on the benefits that information and communication technologies (ICTs) can bring. But the technologies only bring those benefits to people with meaningful access. This means not just reliable Internet connectivity, but a cyberspace that is secure and trusted.
A strong cybersecurity ecosystem must be in place to protect against attacks, whether on state institutions, companies or individual web users.
In a world where nearly everything now depends on technology, the Global Cybersecurity Agenda (GCA) promises to provide a robust framework to help build confidence and security in ICT use.
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the United Nations specialized agency for ICTs, has organized a series of consultations on the GCA with governments, industry and other stakeholders.
