Indecency Regulation

The Federal Communications Commission has started to dig through its backlog of indecency complaints. This predictably triggers some cheap shots at the FCC.

After a hiatus of what numerous attorneys say is close to two years, the Federal Communications Commission has begun to follow up on some of the one million-plus indecency complaints it has acknowledged are in its pipeline.

Children and teens spend about as much time with media as they do sleeping, and the overexposure could take a toll on their health.

The Federal Communications Commission has 1.45 million pending indecency complaints and 12,049 open cases.

The 2004 Janet Jackson-Super Bowl reveal seems like ancient history. But as the Third Circuit Court of Appeals heard new oral arguments in the case on Feb. 23, the future of broadcast television was very much at stake.

The hackers behind a breach of Google Gmail accounts mounted similar attacks on Fortune 100 companies for at least the past year and a half.

After six years of legal wrangling and one Supreme Court review of Janet Jackson's infamous Super Bowl "wardrobe malfunction," CBS argued anew Tuesday that it should not be held responsible for the half-second of nudity.

An increase in online journalists and freelancers has made the press more vulnerable to repression, but new media are also helping raise awareness about such attacks.

CBS and the Federal Communications Commission took aim at each other's arguments in filings to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals in advance of new oral argument this month in the Janet Jackson/Justin Timberlake Super Bowl reveal case.
