Citibank has agreed to a settlement of $29.5 million related to the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), highlighting the risks associated with incorrect phone number calls. This settlement serves as a significant reminder for businesses about the importance of compliance with consumer protection regulations. In addition, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has launched a new comment portal aimed at enhancing public engagement on antitrust issues. Meanwhile, recent developments in Australia include the passage of amendments to privacy laws, which introduce new age restrictions for social media usage. These changes reflect a growing global focus on consumer data protection, with similar initiatives emerging in Montana, where a new consumer data privacy act is now in effect. The landscape of consumer protection continues to evolve, with upcoming updates to the TCPA set to take effect next April.
