    The Federal Communications Commission's Enforcement Bureau released an order on December 10, 2024, telling 2,411 companies to fix issues with their Robocall Mitigation Database certifications. These problems include missing or incomplete robocall mitigation plans and certifications. If the companies don't resolve these issues by December 31, 2024, they risk being removed from the database, which would force other service providers to stop accepting calls directly from them. Companies need to either correct these deficiencies or explain why the bureau shouldn't remove their certification.

    Simple Explanation

    The government told over 2,000 companies they have to fix their robocall plans because they're missing important details. If they don't fix these issues by the end of the year, everyone else might have to stop taking phone calls from these companies.
