What are the specific roles of the FCC and the FTC?

What will be an ideal response?


The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is the federal agency that reports to Congress and regulates interstate and international radio, television, wire, cable and satellite broadcasts. Part of its role is to ensure that obscene language is not broadcast. The FCC is authorized under the Communications Act of 1934 to levy a fine against a broadcast licensee or even revoke the license of a station that aired obscene or indecent language. The prohibition against indecent speech does not apply to programming aired on cable-only television channels or the Internet. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is a consumer protection agency with mandates under the Federal Trade Commission Act (15 U.S.C. ยงยง 41-51) to guard the marketplace from unfair methods of competition, and to prevent unfair or deceptive acts or unfair business practices that harm consumers and is especially noticeable with regard to labeling and advertising.
