The Freakin' FCC imposes harsher penalties for robocallers

On January 6, 2026, the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced a new series of regulations set to take effect February 5. These new regulations include Requirements for providers to recertify every year that their information is accurate in the Robocall Mitigation Databases.

Offenders will be fined $10,000 for submitting false/inaccurate information and $1,000 for each entry not updated within 10 business days of receiving new information.
