   Over the past year, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA)   
   landscape has undergone a series of significant shifts. TCPA   
   defendants received a boost last year when the Supreme Court of the   
   United States narrowed a key statutory definition in Facebook   
   v. Duguid. Plaintiffs adjusted quickly with novel theories around the   
   issue of whether minors can validly consent (Hall v. Smosh Dot Com.,   
   Inc.) to receive automated calls and text messages under the law. Now,   
   a federal district court in the state of Washington has issued a   
   decision in Johansen v. EFinancial, LLC, No. 2:20-CV-01351-DGE, 2022   
   WL 168170 (W.D. Wash. Jan. 18, 2022), that highlights the importance   
   of the TCPA safe harbor and the need for companies to be careful when   
   obtaining consent through electronic means.
