Some governments have made TV illegal, most notably the Republic of
South Africa until sometime in the last ten years. Can't quite
remember when.

Others have regulated it very heavily, and some still do.

Personally, I think that everything that is bad for people should be
made illegal - including war - because it is pretty obvious that most
people don't know what is good for them :-).
