This is just another case where the FCC fell on it's face in the rules

Legislators do this all the time. The U S Tax Code is loaded with
exemption clauses like "this does not apply to corporations
incorporated before 1930 for the purpose of transporting lumber
products along the Columbia River whose gross income is more than
one million dollars per annum...."

Let us not forget the famous Arizona law which makes it illegal to
buy an "Indian" a drink, which was intended for a particular "Indian"
but had to be broadly stated to escape Constitutional challenge, albeit
it was never broadly enforced.
