Curious what kind qualifies as a legal robocall.

A reminder about your dentist appointment.

Just expanding on this, you can robocall anyone with whom you have personal or business dealings but must cease immediately when requested.

This needs a time limitation. Just you and I transacted something back in the 1900s does not mean I should receive a robocall from you out of the blue.

There might be a timeout but I’m not sure. Much of the legislation around it is similar to what you find in the do not call registry. We live in exciting times, when incredibly outdated laws are finally being updated. Send a suggestion to your local lawmakers if you want change.

Politicians probably allow themselves to call everyone.
