| I have little faith that this will retain any teeth The Do Not Call list has provisions that state that all its rules become null and void as soon as the compnay in question can claim that you have a "relationship" with them. Business who we all know has enough lobbyists to get what they want in a law will have the same type of provisions put in here. And just like the Do Not Call list the term relationship will painted so broadly as to include requesting the website that would track you in the first place. Quoting the FTC's own site "calls from or on behalf of political organizations, charities, and telephone surveyors would still be permitted, as would calls from companies with which you have an existing business relationship". Existing Business relationship is not defined, its left for interpretation which can be varried, and as long as this is the case a large number of complaints will be deemed invalid as the call or tracking will fall withing the vague undefined reference of a business relationship which can be as little as requesting a company's website or as already legally proven contacting a company at all. |
