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

Wazza, the ICRA tags require that you register each domain, which is totally pointless - and the tags generated are freaking huge!

There is no reason to "register" anything - no third party required.

All that should be needed is a tag "meta rating = "ADULT" and be done with it. The browsers should be smart enough to look at the tag and take action based on it.

There really isn't a need for a complicated third party solution (third parties can disappear, leaving us all in the shit). Think simple!

Excellent idea Alex. Now all that needs to be done is to get filtering software to recognize it and probably the hardest part, get webmasters to use it. Maybe a good start would make it a requirement for link list and tgp? I don't really know, just a thought
