What internet content label do you think should be the standard and promoted as such?

Careful, remember the movie and the TV industry ARE NOT self rating. All movies and TV shows must be submitted to a "ratings board" where the rating is assigned to them. I'm sure no one wants to submit every page of HTML they create to a ratings board, and wait for that board to come back with the appropriate tag to be inserted into their code. Also news programming and sports on TV are not rated (because of the real time issue) which creates some more interesting scenerio's with the V-chip and rating system. Things like children can watch a boxing match where the violence is real but they can not watch a movie like "Raging Bull" where the violence is staged.

The even bigger issue that we havent even begun to address is compliance. There is no way to force compliance without an international agreement and you think we all have a hard time agreeing.

I personally can see the headlines now....US outlaws all porn production and sales....In an unrelated story, Canadian immigration levels at record high....6 months later. US send cruise missiles in to destroy Canadian data centers. Most porn found in US coming from Canadian sources.
