I run a company that automates B2C sales lead follow on multiple channels and we use AI to leave polite messages for folks who consent based on their inquiry.

The problem we are solving is that about 1/3 of all web leads are fraudulent. Our clients are having trouble sorting through which leads are real people who want to do business and which ones are bots/BS. This ruling is disappointing.

There are better ways to solve this problem, as described for many years here and elsewhere there should be "postage" for messaging and calling. Sender pays, and they get their money back in full if the recipient responds. Costs spammers millions, costs normal people nothing or very close.
