U.S. lawmakers have approved a measure to dramatically stiffen penalties against television and radio broadcasters who cross the line on airing indecent material.
In a surprise move, lawmakers on the House Energy and Commerce Committee approved fines of $500,000 (274,000 pounds) per violation, instead of the ten-fold increase to $275,000, which had earlier passed a subcommittee and had been recommended by the Federal Communications Commission. |
