The FCC is reviewing a controversial request to allow political groups to blast automated calls directly to cell phones.

Critics fear a tidal wave of deceptive campaign spam right before midterm voting. #EndRobocalls #AI #ProtectConsumers southfloridareporter.com/brace-yourse...

Existing AI models could be repurposed relatively cheaply and easily to perform campaign tasks – albeit with great risk of obtaining biased results or spreading misinformation. #ProtectConsumers #EndRobocalls #AI @newsweek.com www.newsweek.com/rules-politi...

Consumer advocacy groups warn the proposed change could trigger a surge of unwanted, partisan and potentially misleading automated calls in the critical final days of the election. #ProtectConsumers #EndRobocalls apnews.com/article/fcc-...

The so-called “American Lending Fairness Act" would serve as a cover for high-cost predatory lending, and remove states’ authority to stop #RentaBank schemes! Congress must vote NO on #HR7866 #ProtectConsumers

While the cost of everything is skyrocketing and people are turning to debt to afford groceries, rent, and everyday necessities, House Republicans want to give financial companies a handout.

Vote NO on #HR10184! #ProtectConsumers @ourfinancialsecurity.org afrnews.substack.com/p/with-few-l...

Enforcement is an important tool the CFPB uses to keep people safe, and civil investigative demands are the first step. Creating new bureaucratic hurdles and unnecessarily heightening CID requirements will undermine the CFPB’s ability to #ProtectConsumers.

Congress must vote No on #HR1653!

Ending publication of requests for help from the CFPB will shield large corporations from scrutiny and leave the public without critical data it can use to hold corporations accountable. #ProtectConsumers @ourfinancialsecurity.org @consumer-action.bsky.social ourfinancialsecurity.org/resources/th...
