I couldn't imagine the government telling me what I could or could not put on my 900 programs, but they did.
I couldn't imagine the government advertising to the public that if you don't want to pay for your 900 calls you don't have to, but they did.
I couldn't imagine the government telling me that girls moaning and groaning on a a 900 line was obscene and that I would be charged with interstate distribution of obscene material and fined $75,000 per day if we didn't immediatly shut down our phone sex lines, but they did.
I couldn't imagine the government telling me I had to have a certain size font in my TV commercials, but they did.
etc. etc. etc.
Trust me, at any moment the government can step into your business and fucking dictate a new way of doing things, with new rules, regs, laws, or just downright morally and politically motivated messing with you.
Anyone who doesn't believe this has never had it happen to them.
