So, I have been thinking about this Cambria Struggles in Senate Porn Hearings

Halfdeck, I'd have to be the first to admit then that my knowledge of ICRA tagging is obsolete.

I've already admitted I have a personal antipathy towards ICRA. Back then, at least, the website said you had to generate a new tag for every page of every domain. Every page had to be entered and rated.

So, perhaps you can appreciate the source of my disdain for ICRA.

Apparently now you can generate one tag per domain which can be used on every page- tho I have yet to test it.

This tag, tho:

<link rel="meta" href="/labels.rdf" type="application/rdf+xml" />

Still looks like it does and says absolutely nothing. It certainly doesn't look like a "Kids keep the fuck off this is porn and your parents will fucking kill you if they catch you looking at this page!" browser control tag.

I gather it points to a labeling file you have to upload to the server. And the labeling file contains the meaningless crap you used to have to put on your page.

Could you write a scriptlet that quickly produces a universal "THIS IS PORN" PICS tag? What would such a tag look like?

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Oh my fucking god!

That ICRA site is ridiculous.

This is their list of "XXX" depictions, automatically selected when you click the "XXX" button...

Exposed breasts
Bare buttocks
Visible genitals
Passionate kissing
Obscured or implied sexual acts
Visible sexual touching
Explicit sexual language
Erections/explicit sexual acts
Erotica
No violence
Profanity or swearing
Mild expletives
No potentially harmful activities
User generated content may be, but is not known to be, present

That's what they rate for.

Where's the entry for...

Hardcore Fucking
Ass Slamming
Midget Anal
Gay Cumshots
Facial Cumshot

I guess all we have to check is...

Erections/explicit sexual acts

Since even broadcast TV has...

Exposed breasts
Bare buttocks
Passionate kissing
Obscured or implied sexual acts

I guess everything is XXX nowadays.

I guess this is the current form of the ICRA label:

Normally I would agree but with this law already on the books and the only thing stopping it from being enforced is a decision from a non-liberal Supreme Court, you are 100% wrong.

That may be the case but shouldn't we be working on a rating system any way? At the core it's a good idea so why shouldn't we make up a working proposal?

We need to make a strong front and start asking news agencies why they aren't using labels when we are. We have a chance to do something good here.

What purpose will a multi-level system serve if it will never get implemented widely enough to be useful. And just who is going to determine these various ratings and how they're blocked? Just way too complicated to ever be effective.

Keep it simple. One rating, "adult", to define content not suitable for minors. Adult content filtering either ON or OFF. That has a far better chance to get implemented.

You have a content filtering system that is defined by w3c and implemented by IE....and it takes just little more time to go somewhere, check a couple checkbox's, get the code and then cut and paste that into your pages that you cant use it but...if it were a simplier tag that you could cut and paste into all your pages, that somehow would be easier?
