WEST PALM BEACH — A lawsuit filed in federal court alleges that Newsmax Media, a cable news and political opinion company, violated federal telemarketing laws by placing unsolicited calls and text messages to individuals on the National Do Not Call Registry.

Vishal Shah, whose phone number has been registered since 2004, claims Newsmax’s actions intruded upon his privacy and violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA).

Enacted in 1991, the TCPA was Congress’s response to mounting frustration over invasive telemarketing practices.
