# CommLaw Page Re-Check — 2026-06-13

Re-checked the archived CommLaw "deficiency-warning" attack page against the
current live version, and captured a newly-published related article.

## 1. Original attack article — UNCHANGED
"WARNING: Do Not Let Automated FCC 'Deficiency' Solicitations Create New
Compliance Risk" (deficiency-warning/) is still live and **byte-for-byte
identical** in article body/title to the May 20, 2026 archive (8,732 chars of
extracted article text match exactly). The only page differences are the
dynamic "recent posts" sidebar. CommLaw did NOT edit or soften the attack page.

## 2. NEW article published — names Performance West (captured here)
"Setting the Record Straight: Accuracy, Accountability, and Professional
Judgment in AI-Assisted Telecom Compliance" — by Managing Partner
Jonathan S. Marashlian.

Saved: record-straight-may2026/page.html + article.md

Key points (favorable / relevant to PW):
- References a controversy in a 3rd-party publication, **Prescott-Martini's
  weekly "Martini Brief"**, that named The CommLaw Group AND Performance West.
- The Martini Brief alleged CommLaw scraped the FCC RMD, harvested emails, and
  mass-emailed the entire RMD list. CommLaw calls these allegations "false" and
  says it only emailed its own Client Advisory list.
- CommLaw states **Prescott-Martini published a retraction/correction**
  acknowledging it had not independently verified the allegations, and withdrew
  the "legacy / technologically backward law firm" characterization. CommLaw
  links to "Retraction and CommLaw Group Response."
- This piece is measured and does NOT directly attack/defame Performance West;
  it reframes the dispute as "responsible AI adoption" + general "be cautious
  with automated compliance tools" cautioning.

## To do / follow up
- Obtain the **Prescott-Martini retraction** (linked from the CommLaw article)
  for the file — it is a third-party retraction in this same dispute.
- Keep monitoring; the original attack page remains live (evidence intact).
