"Political Influence of Adult Sites" and "Free Speech Coalition" pressure.

I use ICRA labels on my servers and I did have to register 1 domain and 1 email address. The same label can be used for all my servers.

1. I think for now we should all use ICRA labels and make it clear to The FSC, lobbyist and hopefully the senate that this rating system is available and is being used today.

2. Obviously we need a better human readable system since ICRA requires registering and forces it's own existence. We need something that everyone can use.

3. I'm not a fan of a single rating such as "Adult". I think we need to make the case for rating of ALL types of material where exposure can be harmful. If we make a rating just for sexual material then it's us against them and it doesn't do shit to protect children.

I propose that we pen a labelling system that includes different levels of nudity, violence, sexual, language, religion and adult subjects such as rape and birth control. This way we can make a stronger argument and pull more people into the mix for the senate.

It makes it very difficult to force the implementation of some complex and burdensome system if a larger group needs to use it and that includes the major conservative supporters.
