In 2001, the FCC tried to clarify its indecency standards by adopting guidelines. What were those guidelines?

What will be an ideal response?

The FCC said material is indecent if it meets the generic Pacifica test. That is, the material must (1) describe or depict sexual or excretory organs or activities and (2) be patently offensive as measured by contemporary community standards for broadcasting. The commission said it would consider several factors in determining whether broadcast material was patently offensive: (1) how explicitly or graphically the material describes sexual activities, (2) whether the material dwells on sexual activities, and (3) whether the material is meant to shock or sexually excite the audience. The FCC said it would consider the full context in which the material appeared.
