Federal Censorship Commission steps up enforcement


iconLast week it was widely reported that the Parents Television Council is behind nearly 100% of the indecency complaints filed with the FCC.

But they don't share all of the blame, as it also looks like the FCC is taking complaints far more seriously than before. The indecency scorecard says it all.

It looks like nearly all of the complaints from 1999 to 2002 were tossed out. (20,310 complaints, 19,380 tossed or 95.4% thrown out) There is no data for 2004 yet, but in 2003 not only did the number of complaints increase dramatically, but almost none of them were tossed out. (200,000 complaints, 370 tossed or 0.1% thrown out)

Obviously someone has come to regard this as another revenue source, eh? Think the PTC gets kickbacks?
