Walt Mossberg, Personal Technology columnist for The Wall Street Journal and Co-Executive Editor of AllThingsD, asked your top questions to FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski.

Radio & TV Censorship

Why does the FCC think i'm a child? I'm 32 years old with a wife, children, a career, a home, and I pay taxes. Who do you think you are to enforce what my children can or cannot see? How can you possibly think that violence is ok for TV, but the human body is not?

Why does the government need to be involved in fining radio and television stations for airing so-called "indecent" material? Doesn't the community have the right to express their distaste through not patronizing sponsors of such programming? Isn't indecency too vaguely defined and ultimately impossible to effectively regulate?

How come the FCC gets involved in determining what is "decent" and "indecent" when people can choose what they want to watch or listen to by changing the channel? If people were offended by the material, couldn't they just put on something else while the people who enjoy that broadcast watch the material. No one is being forced to watch anything.
