   caller identification information in connection with any voice service
   or text messaging service.

   activity of a law enforcement agency of the United States, a State, or
   a political subdivision of a State, or of an intelligence agency of the
   United States; or

   (2) Activity engaged in pursuant to a court order that specifically
   authorizes the use of caller identification manipulation.

   (c) A person or entity that blocks or seeks to block a caller
   identification service from transmitting or displaying that person or
   entity's own caller identification information pursuant to § 64.1601(b)

   identification information under § 64.1601(e).
