If people are so easily swayed then perhaps they are just idiots? There are some cold & hard facts advocates of democracy need to look at. These problems can't be legislatively swept under the rug.
I'm for this, but how is it enforceable? Companies have teams dedicated to this and are still thwarted. I don't see California Government as leader in technology. But maybe I'm wrong. I do see them as a leader in overbudget, late, and often failing projects. So while this sounds good, I don't see it being good.
Not that it matters to international bots but if the USA follows...

I think there are privacy regulations that prevent the phone company from deanonymizing a caller without a warrant. Or at least that’s the excuse I’ve heard cited before.
If you are on the do not call list a warrant SHOULD be easy to get though.

The people who developed democracy never accounted for the weapons grade marketing and persuasion we are capable of today.
I'm all for this...but can we just ban telemarketing entirely? Why is that even allowed? I've always thought that the law should be written such that telemarketing is legal, but if you engage in it, it is no longer illegal to murder you. You can do it, but you lose your murder protection.
It should at least require that a human initiates and terminates every single call.

I'll give it a shot, I get about five per day.
Step in the right direction, Calfornia
If there's a way to get around the system, these guys will figure it out.
So, robots have no rights to convey messages to humans? Is that so? It might be a wiser option to enhance control over ownership of robots instead.
Why should robots have any rights at all?
bill to ban bots xD... and then suddenly the ability to identify them consistently and correctly apears out of the blue <3
You're telling me you can't tell the difference between a person and a recording over the phone?
I'm assuming this gives enough teeth to law enforcement for, say, Twitter to turn over records I sure hope it has on who is botting on their website.
