What are you talking about? People can subscribe to Playboy Channel or whatever and watch that on TV with no censorship. The only real restrictions were applied to broadcast (OTA) channels due to limited spectrum. Even that is now effectively moot as broadcast TV is dying off.

Yes I’m talking about the regulation of broadcast media on the airwaves. And how it is a bit weird that it has a carve-out for censorship there.

Yes the “problem” is slowly disappearing but from a legal curiosity standpoint of the past decades that doesn’t make it less interesting that it existed.
