- W77867939 abstract "Senate legislation introduced recently that aims to extend broadcast indecency regulations to cable and satellite providers, if passed, would represent the most significant congressional effort to regulate speech since the Communications Decency Act of 1996, and likely form the precursor to regulation of content on the Internet. The CDA was found unconstitutional, but with S-616 Rockefeller and Hutchison clearly are trying to avoid the same fate. The bill applies broadcast rules found constitutional in FCC v. Pacifica in 1978 to cable and satellite offerings because they are all ubiquitous. While this is a more nuanced argument for speech regulation than what we saw during the CDA debate it is precisely for these reasons that cross-media censorship must be rejected. The fact that new media outlets have grown in popularity and that millions of Americans voluntarily subscribe to them, are powerful arguments against speech controls, not for them. The First Amendment will be an empty vessel if a popularity-equals-pervasiveness doctrine is adopted. Shows like The Shield, South Park, and Nip/Tuck would be forced to migrate to premium tiers to avoid regulation, whereby viewers will have to pay significant sums of money to escape censorship in the future. Worth assessing is the findings section's pervasiveness rationale, which has never been applied to newspapers and the Internet, and would be constitutionally suspect for cable and satellite. Meanwhile mandates imposed on warning systems and filters deployed voluntarily by programmers might best be grouped under the theme hanging the industry with its own rope. Ratings systems are subjective, and government shouldn't have any say over them. Section 11 would exempt premium and pay-per-view channels, but what happens if S-616 forces popular content onto these networks and viewers follow? Would they then be regulated as well?" @default.
