Editing Meese Commission (section)

== Impact on the Industry ==
The commission's 92 recommendations led to immediate and long-term changes:
* '''Retail Pressure:''' The commission sent letters to major convenience store chains (like 7-Eleven) warning them they might be listed as "pornography distributors." This led to the widespread removal of magazines like ''Playboy'' and ''Penthouse'' from mainstream retail shelves.
* '''Task Forces:''' The creation of the **National Obscenity Enforcement Unit** (now the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section of the DOJ), which began "multiple-district prosecutions" to bankrupt adult film distributors through legal costs.
* '''RICO Statutes:''' The commission recommended using anti-racketeering laws to seize the assets of adult film companies.
