In the source's own words

Forfeiture Order, FCC 24-104, In the Matter of Steve Kramer, Federal Communications Commission, 2024, Paragraph 1, Introduction.
Open the original- What it measures
- The calls used a cloned voice of President Biden, sent two days before the 2024 New Hampshire primary, and the penalty was under the Truth in Caller ID Act.
- What it does not show
- A deliberate political deepfake with spoofed caller ID, not a commercial voice agent. It shows the size of penalties that can follow AI-voice calls, not the typical penalty for a business.
