A quick definition of Tennessee:

Definition: Tennessee has laws in place to regulate various forms of electronic communication and computer-related crimes. These laws include:

  • Commercial email and spam: Tenn. Code §§ 39-14-601 et seq. (Tennessee Personal and Commercial Computer Act of 2003)
  • Telemarketing and telephonic anti-solicitation: Tenn. Code § 47-18-125; Tenn. Code §§ 47-18-1501 et seq.; Tenn. Code § 47-18-1526; Tenn. Code §§ 65-4-401 et seq.

  • Computer-related crime: Tenn. Code §§ 39-14-601 et seq. (Tennessee Personal and Commercial Computer Act of 2003)

These laws aim to protect individuals and businesses from unwanted electronic communication, such as spam emails and unsolicited telemarketing calls. They also address computer-related crimes, such as hacking and identity theft.

For example, if a business sends unsolicited emails to individuals in Tennessee, they may be in violation of the state's commercial email and spam laws. Similarly, if a telemarketer calls someone on the state's "do not call" list, they may be in violation of the telemarketing and telephonic anti-solicitation laws.

These laws help to ensure that electronic communication is used responsibly and ethically, and that individuals and businesses are protected from harmful or unwanted electronic communication and computer-related crimes.
