Do-Not-Call Registry is Constitutional
Here’s something sensible.
Comparing the do-not-call list to a “No Solicitation” sign, a federal court today upheld the measure, striking down complaints from telemarketers that the registry restricted free speech rights.
A three judge panel of the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously rejected claims from telemarketers that the list violated the First Amendment because it does not apply to charitable or political organizations.
“We hold that the do-not-call registry is a valid commercial speech regulation because it directly advance’s the government’s important interests in safeguarding personal privacy and reducing the danger of telemarketing abuse,” according to the decision.
