According to BlockBeats, on August 22, Cointelegraph reported that Texas-based telecommunications company Lingo Telecom has been fined $1 million by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for its involvement in an illegal deepfake scam involving President Biden.

The scam utilized AI-generated recordings of President Biden's voice, which were disseminated through robocalls. The purpose of these calls was to deter people from voting in the New Hampshire primary elections.
