Statement on Senate Passage of TRACED Act

Twilio congratulates the Senate on passing the TRACED Act. In particular, we appreciate Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA), and Sen. John Thune (R-SD) for their leadership on the very important issue of stopping robocalls. We agree that consumers deserve relief from illegal robocalls as soon as possible and are fully committed to working with public and private stakeholders to advance the benefits of STIR/SHAKEN. This effort must also ensure that consumers continue to receive all wanted communications from entities such as charities, schools, health care providers and businesses alike. STIR/SHAKEN is one tool that will help advance these important goals. We can and should solve the robocalling challenge together in the best interest of all consumers.
