With regard to content filtering of live calls,
not just from a
legal perspective, but also from what you want your listeners to
hear. The standard method used here when I was in the business years
ago was to delay the whole studio audio about 7 seconds and provide
a cut button that shut off the audio after the delay.
This seven seconds 'profanity delay' seems to be a US thing,
and probably an FCC requirement. I've never seen such things
used on this side of the Atlantic.
