Radio and TV has long had more limited free speech protections because it’s a shared and thus finite resource. Thus the fines for curse words, nudity, etc.
Banning in magazines targeting kids is a separate question.
All these laws make me want to step outside and take a long, smooth drag on a Marlboro Light.
