junk fax legislation

Junk fax legislation, such as the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), restricts the sending of unsolicited commercial faxes to prevent businesses from spamming individuals or companies with unwanted advertisements. It generally requires that senders have prior express consent from recipients and provides recipients the right to opt out of future transmissions. These laws aim to protect privacy, reduce nuisance, and ensure that commercial messages are sent responsibly, with fines or legal consequences for violations. Essentially, it helps regulate unsolicited fax advertising to safeguard consumers and businesses from unwanted communications.
