Regulating morality
Hance Haney
Outgoing Federal Communications Commission Chairman Kevin Martin is pushing for action in December on a plan to offer free, pornography-free wireless Internet service to all Americans, despite objections from the wireless industry and some consumer groups.
according to the Wall Street Journal.

I wonder who is going to decide what is pornography?

And does this mean drug abuse, domestic violence, gambling addiction, infidelity, negligent or reckless parenting, over-spending, etc. are okay?
