[Scan-DC] From the FCC yesterday:

[Alan Henney]

The FCC’s Enforcement Bureau today issued an Enforcement Advisory warning
amateur and personal radio services licensees and operators that they may
not use radio equipment to commit or facilitate criminal acts.  The
Enforcement Advisory says: “The Bureau has become aware of discussions on
social media platforms suggesting that certain radio services regulated by
the Commission may be an alternative to social media platforms for groups
to communicate and coordinate future activities.  The Bureau recognizes
that these services can be used for a wide range of permitted purposes,
including speech that is protected under the First Amendment of the U.S.
Constitution.  Amateur and Personal Radio Services, however, may not be
used to commit or facilitate crimes.  Specifically, the Bureau reminds
amateur licensees that they are prohibited from transmitting
‘communications intended to facilitate a criminal act’ or ‘messages encoded
for the purpose of obscuring their meaning.’”
