Cursing on radio and cursing nudity on TV . The FCC doesn ' t do that . Networks censor that for the sake of advertisers . There ' s a reason HBO gets away with it . A third of a trillion dollars is not barely enough money to function . What , the FCC is regulating a market as massive as the US and you ' re expecting it to run on a supermarket ' s budget ? They regulate all the airwaves , all the TV , all the cable , all the US internet , . etc . Telecommunication isn ' t exactly a small thing to regulate because they have to monitor so much shit . The fact is the FCC needs to get its priorities together and only focus on allowing as much communication TV , Phone , Internet as possible while giving the people the most freedom possible . They don ' t write the rules . They select to enforce them . If you have a problem with the rules , you should talk to the people who write them hint congress is bought off by telecom and media conglomerates . If you want more freedom , presumably in the form of competition , then you should get your Congress and state legislators to not write shit laws that prevent new ISPs to roll into town and current ISPs from violating net neutralityequality .
