Comment on Telecom will pay $1 million over deepfake Joe Biden robocall

I’m curious. And I ask, because US politics has normalised what would be clear corruption in most other places:
Is the illegal part here spoofing Biden, or also a private company trying to manipulate the electoral process?
If its only the former, then, what an absolute shit show.

A bit of both, but mostly about elections. The specific act used was “Truth in Caller ID Act by maliciously spoofing the number of a prominent local political consultant.”
Though, the settlements also require the company to screen calls more aggressively and implement KYC.
