The FCC regulates closed captions on over the air broadcast television.
They’re not going to regulate the Internet streaming services.
This is an accessibility issue and the FCC takes it pretty seriously. Captions must be accurate, complete, synchronized (or as close to as possible), and (this is the important one in this case) cannot obscure important information on the screen.
It’s a pretty easy form, but they do want a lot of details.

Due to the Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act (CVAA) of 2010 FCC does indeed regulate streaming services.

The FCC is American though. Anything in a “foreign language” is clearly not important information to them.

Maybe not, but cares deeply about “equivalent experience “ which this case is not.

I’m just playing lol. Believer or not, there are at least some people left who care about such things. I’d like to think.
