Twitter Faces Spam Text Class Action

In August 2016, a California appeals court held that Twitter is ultimately responsible for sending hundreds of text message tweets to recycled cell phones in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). These types of “wrong number” cases are growing in number as cell phone users get assigned recycled phone numbers previously owned by other cell phone users.

The spam text class action lawsuit is one of several against major corporate companies that use robocalls and autodialers to reach consumers with deals and discounts. The TCPA bans cell phone calls or texts made with an automatic telephone dialing system and without the recipient’s consent. Violators can be required to pay up to $1500 per call or text.
