Well, there is nothing new under the sun. Unsurprisingly, the few folks that did pick up on the Cyren Call story focused on the denial in bold type and completely ignored the stuff in the fine print. This by Richard Koman is typical.
OTOH, given that Cyren Call has been in a bunch to the FCC, I don’t think anyone important is fooled. Moving forward, the FCC will need to give some clear guidance on what it expects for PSST and its agents. As Morgan O’Brien observed, this will be a good thing.
Senators Ed Markey(@SenMarkey) and Richard Blumenthal (@SenBlumenthal)sent a letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to ask about the steps taken to protect consumers from the security vulnerabilities of internet-connected cars.

Last year we learned wireless carriers were selling your real time location data to shady middlemen. Now we learn even more about the human cost of this data falling into the wrong hands. It’s chilling.
The @FCC’s total silence on this is unacceptable.

Ya know, when this happened under Kevin Martin, he actually issued new rules to prevent pretexting. From @AjitPaiFCC ? Well, sacrifices must be made if we are to deregulate . . .

This goes out to all the people who claim that everything is just fine in the absence of Title II #NetNeutrality & the 2017 repeal of #broadband #privacy rules. This is what happens when @FCC abdicates its oversight. https://t.co/g7JyImSDve
100% agree with TechFreedom on this.
Man, reality just keeps getting weirder.
@BerinSzoka More analysis from law Prof Samuel Bray, who predicts the Supreme Court may soon take this question
But Congress shouldn't want for the Court to rule. Consumers shouldn't be unprotected and overhauling the FTC's enforcement powers is long overdue anyway
