Admitted, that the US govt DOES have enough pull to require all the major pc manufacturers to require them to put such a chip in every computer sold in the US.
The manufacturers would fall right in line with little hesitation.
As far as demanding the rest of the world to follow the requirement of putting a rating on their sites, that is absurd.
But If the chip once enabled (by the owners choice only) will only allow that computer to view rated sites, then it is up to webmasters in the rest of the world to decide if they want the people who have the chip enabled to visit their pages. They can either voluntarily put a rating on their sites or basically ignore the request and thus those surfers.
The question then lies...who checks to see if the webmaster put the correct rating on their site? Or for that matter which rating a site should have?
Big Brother and a taxpayer funded watchdog group? The bible Thumpers? George W himself?
Who could enforce if I put a pg rating on an anal site?
