cable television struck down broadcast television upheld the internet

Explanation:

Analyze Supreme Court precedent on obscenity

The Supreme Court generally protects speech under the First Amendment but allows the regulation of obscenity. It has consistently upheld bans on obscenity in public media, particularly where children are easily exposed.

Evaluate media-specific regulations

While the Court has struck down broad obscenity/indecency regulations on newer media like the internet (e.g., Reno v. ACLU) and cable television (e.g., United States v. Playboy Entertainment Group), it has historically upheld stricter regulations and bans on broadcast television and radio due to its uniquely pervasive presence and accessibility to children (e.g., FCC v. Pacifica Foundation).
