The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has fined Lingo Telecom $1 million for distributing a fabricated voice call of President Joe Biden, aimed at influencing voters in New Hampshire. The investigation revealed that the mastermind behind the call was political consultant Steve Kramer, who the FCC had previously proposed a $6 million fine against. To reach a settlement with Lingo, the FCC has required the company to strictly adhere to caller ID authentication rules going forward, including implementing 'Know Your Customer' (KYC) measures.
