Specter, Arlen [R-PA] PA R S000709 1 Amends the Communications Act of 1934 to define "indecent communication" as any communication in which any discussion or reference is made to the genitals, breasts, or buttocks, actual or simulated sexual intercourse or contact, bestiality, masturbation, or sado-masochistic sexual abuse which is patently offensive as measured by contemporary community standards.

Specifies that any provider who offers access to such a communication through any telephone number other than one within the prefix assigned is in violation of such Act. 2025-01-14T18:51:33Z
