Courts have seen a flurry of activity in the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) realm this year-and August was no exception. In April 2021, the Supreme Court's Facebook v. Duguid, 141 S. Ct. 1163 (2021), settled the long-debated question of what constitutes an automatic telephone dialing system under the TCPA, 47 U.S.C. §
227. Many anticipated the Court's willingness to narrow the scope of claims brought under the statute would narrow the number of lawsuits brought under the TCPA. But TCPA cases continue to proliferate, and two appellate courts recently revived claims based on the TCPA.
