3:06:56the fcc spread its control quick, like basic cable got ate but like hbo didnt
3:06:57Some of chat are dumb as fuck
3:06:59they handled cable differently than TV
3:06:59Remember, $2 in 1980 is the equivalent to $8.58 today. Also, broadcast (over radio waves) and cable are not the same thing, they made cable specifically to get away from a bunch of FCC regs
3:07:00Chat is illiterate. Please understand

3:07:05"can the fcc fine cable channels" search that instead
3:07:06goalpost will now be shifted
3:07:06"it does not exercise general content or speech censorship over cable programming"
3:07:07It did not have that power in the 80s and 90s or early 2000s. that came later
3:07:07:_pippaSmug::_pippaSmug::_pippaSmug:
3:07:08well theres also crazy people that get upset when people say something they don't like, maybe its better to say things are heavily sanitized now
3:07:09FINEs are for broadcast channels only
