In parts one and two of this miniseries for The Privacy Advisor Podcast on the plague that is robocalls, host Angelique Carson, CIPP/US, examined the problem from the U.S. and U.K. perspectives. In short, the U.S. continues to fight an uphill battle on the Federal Communications Commission's number-one consumer complaint, despite levying heavy fines against offenders, while the U.K. has seen a decline in complaints since it started issuing fines.
