After Years of Illegal Robocalls, FCC Takes Unprecedented Action

May 11, 2023— The FCC issues the first-ever robocall blocking order against One Eye.

The FCC’s Enforcement Bureau ordered voice service providers to block and cease accepting voice traffic from international gateway provider One Eye, LLC.
