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

Jim, a V-chip in the TV world works because of the way that the encoding is made. The data for the V-chip encoding is done in a similar manner to close captions or XDS encoded data. The information is broadcast on a continuous basis, not just at a single time at the start of the show (the little logo you see at the start of the show is only there to show you, technically it does nothing.

Web pages are served in a different manner, one shot there you go, all the data is in one place. Making the browser (which is the software normally used for reading web pages) check for a simple meta tag is a piece of cake job, a very few lines of code and you are off to the races.

The government needs to pass simple rules: All web pages must be rated (General to Restricted / adult / XXX ) and all browsers must support a simple system to read these tags and block unwanted websites.

Done.

Sadly, the simple answers will never be simple.

Get ahead of the curve and I’m thinking self regulated is better. By agreeing to a term of meta tag performance and definition one can give the government(s) a smaller target to narrow upon.
