A quick definition of California:

California: California has laws that protect people from unwanted advertising through email, phone calls, text messages, and faxes. Electronic mail service providers can sue to enforce their policies against spam email. Telemarketers must follow certain rules, and there is a "Do Not Call" registry for people who don't want to receive telemarketing calls. It is also illegal to use the internet or email to trick someone into giving away personal information. California also has laws against pornography and computer-related crimes.

A more thorough explanation:

California has several laws and regulations in place to protect consumers from unwanted and deceptive forms of advertising and communication. These laws cover various forms of electronic communication, including email, text messages, and telemarketing.

The Unsolicited Commercial Email Advertising Law of 2003 prohibits the sending of unsolicited commercial emails in California. Electronic Mail Service Providers are empowered to sue to enforce their policies prohibiting spam email.

Example: A company sends unsolicited emails to California residents advertising their products. This is a violation of California's spam laws.

Example: A telemarketer calls a California resident who is on the "Do Not Call" registry and tries to sell them a product. This is a violation of California's telemarketing laws.

California prohibits text message advertising and unsolicited advertisements sent from one fax machine to another.

Example: A company sends unsolicited text messages to California residents advertising their products. This is a violation of California's text message advertising laws.

California's prohibitions against unlawful forms of advertising, including unsolicited email advertising, are considered unlawful trade practices.

Example: A person sends obscene text messages to a California resident. This is a violation of California's laws against sending obscene language through electronic communication devices.

California makes it a crime to use a telephone or "electronic communication device" to annoy, threaten, or send obscene language to another. It is also a crime to impersonate another through electronic means.
