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

I don't see why ICRA is in any way preferable to using meta tags. If we are going to invest energy into something why not pick the better technology first?

I'm not familiar with how the current blocking softwares work - but many of us already put metas on every page to help blocking softwares. How do we find out wether the blocking softwares are reacting to these common metas?

ICRA labels are not a preferred method but 95% of the computers in homes today support the ICRA labels. Meta tags are far easier and a preferred method but I don't think IE supports them out of the box.

My suggestion is that we make the FSC and the Senate aware that ICRA labels exist but are not a good long term solution and promose the meta tags. Until then, we should support the use of ICRA labels as a temporary solution that needs to be updated.
