CONCORD — Attorney General Gordon J. MacDonald announced that as a result of a bipartisan, public/private coalition of 51 attorneys general and 12 phone companies, eight principles to fight illegal robocalls have been adopted. This agreement will help protect phone users from illegal robocalls and make it easier for attorneys general to investigate and prosecute bad actors.
“The No. 1 job of all attorneys general is to ensure the protection of the citizens in our states,” said MacDonald. “Through the nationwide collaboration of attorneys general and industry leaders, we are setting forth a plan, in real time, to protect our citizens by combating burdensome and dangerous robocalls. The principles announced today will address a technological problem with a technological solution and are aimed at preventing robocalls through call blocking, call labeling and network improvements as well as greater enforcement actions.”
