In our continuing series on robocalls, Editor Angelique Carson, CIPP/US, talks to U.S. Federal Trade Commission Attorney Ian Barlow. He is in charge of running the do-not-call-list program and bringing cases against illegal robocallers. It’s an area of intense focus for the agency, which has also paired with the Federal Communications Commission and private industry to try and find solutions. In this episode, Barlow describes some of the cases he’s prosecuted, who these recidivist robocallers are, and whether he feels the agency has a grip on this persistent and aggravating problem for U.S. consumers.
