Deserve to Win (Ep. 23): Campaign Registry a threat to national security? MEF Sexist?

So Mobile Ecosystem Forum (MEF) kicked Puja off a panel recently and nobody really knows why.Following some protests at their event, President Dario Betti claimed Puja was unavailable to attend the conference--but that's just flat untrue.Without question the organization has a clear history of underrepresenting women in position of leadership and on panels and webinars, so outright sexism may be the culprit.But there is another option as well. The day before Puja was kicked off the panel the Czar had spoken regarding MEF member The Campaign Registry and its foreign ties. All domestic companies and politicians that want access to the American text message ecosystem need to register their campaigns with TCR--which gives them an opportunity to censor speech and assign "trust scores" limiting throughput for campaigns deemed less trustworthy.This is all scary enough but when you layer in the foreign ownership it does raise some serious questions. Was the Czar's coverage of the issue what lead to Puja's outing? Or was International Board President Dari Betti up to something else? The TCPAWorld team breaks it down.Plus you'll hear from Acquisition COO Johnny Tarone who has some very serious concerns about TCR and its alleged behavior targeting others that spoke up against it. All of this PLUS coverage of the CFPB's new rules and two important TCPA decisions. You cannot miss this jam-packed episode.
