FCC Launches Obscenity Info Website
Uh oh. I'm not sure I like the sound of this....
Roy Mark writes in internetnews.com:
With indecency complaints soaring, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is launching a new site to educate the public about laws governing the public airing of obscene, indecent and profane material.
The FCC receives hundreds of thousands of complaints each year alleging violation of the restrictions on obscene, indecent, or profane programming. Last year, the FCC fielded more than a million complaints from the public over questionable material broadcast over television and radio.
During the first six months of this year, more than 160,000 complaints hit the FCC, which has administrative responsibility for enforcing the law that governs these types of broadcasts.
The new FCC site explains how to file a complaint and what happens to the complaint once the commission receives it.
