The only REAL content amateurs have that is restricted is Obscene and
Indecent material and Commerical type messages.

But who decides what is obscene and indecent?

There are specific case opinions of the Supreme Court of the United
States which define same.

Do not forget that in addition to banning certain types of
content, the FCC also forces certain types of content such as
transmitting station ID at specified times in specific format.

It's even worse for broadcasters who also have to transmit EAS
material, renewal filing notices, and sponsorship notices in
addition to station ID.

None of the above are the "censorship" which is envisioned in Sec.
326, though.

Be happy for what we have and don't have.
