The Hill reports that 15 Democratic senators including New York's Kirsten Gillibrand and Elizabeth Warren from Massachusetts, sent a very strongly worded letter to the Federal Communications Commission about how there are so many automated solicitation calls, or robocalls. “In an era when the onslaught of unwanted and abusive robocalls is on the rise, we are concerned that the absence of these core protections could result in even more invasive calls and texts,” the senators wrote in a letter to FCC Chairman Ajit Pai. Last year the FCC gave out a $122M fine for one robocall scammer accused of nearly 100 million illegal robocalls over a three-month period. But going after robocallers one at a time won't work. And the governments "Do Not Call" lists are not working. The "Do Not Call" registry began in 2003, and since then the the Federal Trade Commission and the Justice Department have only filed 131 cases against violators. So in the letter to Pai, the senators propose making the do-not-call protections stronger.
