What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Senator Chuck Schumer urged the Federal Communications Commission not to approve a petition from Club for Growth. The group had requested permission to make political calls to cell phones using an artificial or prerecorded voice, including an AI-generated voice, without obtaining prior express consent. Schumer warned that this change could allow campaigns to use opponents' voices to send messages that are disingenuous or false.
