The FAA only gets to set the things that must be explained. To set the actual content or prohibit any advertising, etc would violate 1st amendment. Unless they could show there was 1)a safety need, 2)no other way to accomplish this, and 3)the restrictions are the min. needed. Not an easy hurdle for a government body to accomplish.
