Debt collectors get a special exemption?
- techsupporter 10y agoI think it is because debt collection calls are regulated by a different law (the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act).
- MichaelBurge 10y agoThey should charge a small amount of money to maintain a "Facebook account", and argue that responding "Happy Birthday!" is repayment of a debt via the increased ad exposure. The birthday reminders themselves also have a monetary value, based on the conversion rate.
- mark212 10y agono they don't. The article isn't reporting accurately on Facebook's argument. The TCPA has exceptions for emergency communications and debt collection activity where the debt is owed to or guaranteed by the federal government. General debt collection most certainly isn't exempt from TCPA compliance.
