The company responsible for 7.5 billion robot calls to the south by nearly every attorney general

We can all agree that robocalls are the worst. While there may never be a way to completely get rid of them (though the agencies are certainly working on it), one of the most prolific sources of these intrusions has finally come to justice.

CBS News reports that attorneys general from 48 states (plus the District of Columbia) are coming together to file a bipartisan lawsuit against Arizona-based Avid Telecom, its owner Michael D. Lansky, and Vice President Stacey S. Reeves. V 141 page suit claims that the company illegally made more than 7.5 billion calls to people on National Do Not Call Registry. Arizona Attorney General Chris Meyes claims that almost 197 million automated calls were made to phone numbers in her state in the five-year period from December 2018 to January 2023.

The lawsuit alleges that Avid Telecom spoofed phone numbers, including 8.4 million phone numbers that appeared to belong to the government or law enforcement, as well as other numbers disguised as those of Amazon, DirecTV and many others. The lawsuit alleges that Avid Telecom violated the Telecommunications and Consumer Protection Act, the Telemarketing Rule and a number of other telemarketing and consumer protection laws.

AG is asking the court to join Avid Telecom from making illegal calls by robots, as well as damages and restitution to people it called illegally. They also use several legal means to get Avid to cough up money for every infraction, which, given the sheer volume of calls made, can add up quickly. Sumco Panama, which accounted for comparatively less than 5 billion automated calls, was fined nearly $300 million by the FCC late last year.

Earlier this month was reported that the US Federal Trade Commission sued XCast Labs for allegedly helping other companies call those on the National Do Not Call Registry.

In 2017 Dish reached a settlement it cost them $210 million. The company allegedly made millions of calls trying to sell and promote its satellite TV service. Dish ultimately had to pay a civil penalty of $126 million to the US government and $84 million to residents of California, Illinois, North Carolina and Ohio. Hopefully we will see a similar result with Avid Telecom.

Honkai: Star Rail – where to find all the Eidolon pioneers

Honkai: StarRail’With The trailblazer is not just a one-time character. Like the Traveler in Genshin Impact, the Pathfinder can withstand a variety of weaknesses due to his ability to control more than one element. Each element also gives them the opportunity to play completely different roles depending on the team. Unfortunately, the Trailblazer also has a unique unlock method. Eidolons compared to other characters.

Eidolons are copies of characters that unlock additional abilities for each of them. For example, if you already have Dan Heng, but you draw it from the banner again, then this copy will give you an item that unlocks his first Eidolon (E1). You can unlock up to six Eidolons per character before Star Rail converts additional characters to another currency that can be spent in the in-game store.
