3:10:51Google the indecency regulation specifically
3:10:55just ask if it regulated cable tv content
3:10:56had to be after a certain time
3:10:58The FCC has very limited authority to regulate content on cable TV cuz congress has not granted the agency extensive content oversight in this area.
3:11:01"In the 1980s, cable television content was largely not regulated by the FCC in the same way as broadcast television, giving cable operators more flexibility in the programming they provided."
3:11:01There was skinomax back in the day but it was a pay per view channel
3:11:04There's also more wild west vibes on the internet over broadcasts yes
3:11:11but what people are talking about is FCC didnt regulate that, it was advertisers that set the standards
3:11:13like this is a huge rabbit hole, they have to stop things that are deemed profane
3:11:14I remember when NYPD Blue showed a bare butt on broadcast tv
3:11:14Seth Mcfarland literally made an entire song in Family Guy complaining about the FCC.
3:11:17daytime hours vs late night also matters
3:11:23FCC regulates cable and broadcast tech, but only broadcast content
3:11:27It's controlled by the corporations themselves, not the FCC
3:11:29chat is a bunch of fcc nerds
3:11:29woah chat is going really fast. Youtube working good today
3:11:31@DustyKH Obscenity laws are not under FCC, it's under DOJ in general...
