   In a long-awaited decision, the United State Supreme Court issued a   
   ruling in Facebook, Inc. v. Duguid, No. 19-511, on April 1, 2021,   
   concluding that, to qualify as an autodialer under the Telephone   
   Consumer Protection Act ("TCPA"), a device must have the capacity to   
   use a random or sequential number generator to store or to produce   
   phone numbers. In other words, in contrast to what some courts had   
   concluded, it is not enough for the device simply to be able to store   
   and then automatically dial numbers. This decision resolved a Circuit   
   split in interpreting the TCPA and settled a debate among at least   
   four different interpretations of the autodialer definition.
