Statement: Twilio Supports FCC's Anti-Spoofing and Robocall Efforts

Twilio applauds the FCC and Congress for their efforts to combat malicious caller ID spoofing and robocalls. Today, Twilio filed with the FCC public comments supporting these efforts. Specifically, Twilio asked the FCC to ensure that new rules closely reflect Congress’s targeted approach to preserve legitimate practices for altering caller ID while combating fraudulent practices that harm consumers. Legitimate practices include those designed to protect the privacy and safety of consumers and encourage efficiency in business. We appreciate the FCC’s leadership in protecting consumers against harmful phone scams and look forward to working with the FCC and Congress in their efforts to crack down on predatory phone behavior.
