Facebook, Inc. v. Duguid

Facebook, Inc. v. Duguid was a Supreme Court case that addressed the definition of an "automatic telephone dialing system" under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). The Court ruled that for a device to be considered automatic, it must have the capacity to store or produce numbers using a random or sequential generator. This clarification impacted how businesses can use technology to contact consumers, ensuring that not all automated messaging systems fall under stricter regulations. The decision aimed to strike a balance between consumer protection and the practicalities of modern communication technology.
