Abstract

This brief article discusses the captive audience doctrine, which strives to relieve recipients from being held captive to unwanted speech. It rests on the belief that in certain circumstances people should not have to be exposed to offensive speech. As such, the doctrine serves as an exception to the First Amendment rule requiring people exposed to unwanted speech to avert their eyes and ears. The primary venue in which the captive audience doctrine has been applied is an individual’s home.
