Robotexting Law Violates Free Speech Rights, Facebook Says

https://www.mediapost.com/publications/article/300885/robotexting-law-violates-free-speech-rights-faceb.html

        A law that prohibits companies from sending robotexts to users
        without their consent violates Facebook's free speech rights,
        the company says in new court papers.  The Telephone Consumer
        Protection Act "runs headlong into the First Amendment,"
        Facebook says in a petition asking the 9th Circuit Court of
        Appeals to immediately review a trial judge's refusal to
        dismiss a lawsuit accusing the company of violating the law.
