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

My opinion:

If we could get the SEs (primarily Google) to stop displaying results for keywords like "porn" that didn't have a "Restricted" Meta rating tag most of the world would fall into line in the space of a few months, and G would have even more ground to stand on when telling the DOJ to shove their subpeona up their asses. It would then be up to the browsers to start supporting filtering via the tag, and they'd start looking pretty bad since any move like this from Google would generate worldwide media attention.

Simple and clean.

If we're worried about kids finding porn on the internet, I'd be willing to bet that 99% of underage surfers looking for porn look to the SEs for it.
