I remember when ICRA had a neat little script you could download and fill in all the pertinent info and it would spit out your code. Now they want me to register and send "Personal Info".

Figure the odds of them not folding under the weight of the DOJ for this info. This is taken from their TOS:

Quote:


During the course of registering a website users are required to enter a certain level of personal and site specific information needed to administer the registration. ICRA™ regards the data that it collects during the labelling process to fall into either of two categories: PRIVATE DATA and PUBLIC DATA.

PRIVATE DATA include personal information such as name, address, organisation, email address, and telephone number. PRIVATE DATA are collected solely for use by ICRA™ as part of its authentication procedure to protect the integrity of the labelling system. Such data will not be disclosed or sold to a third party without prior consent.

I will not label my sites with RTA or ICRA unless forced by law to do so. I don't feel this will solve anything and could in fact backfire.

Yes True, and we all know who pays those sites bills

What are your thoughts on Torrent sites, and advertisers who earn money from pirated / stolen content?

I for one want to do whatever i can to protect minors on the internet, I at least can sleep at night knowing I did my part and did the right thing !! This industry is so fractured at least we could all do the right thing here and band together for once :)

giving parents a false sense of security is silly..

Do you have children ? would you let your kid surf the net unmonitored with filters turned on ?

no responsible parent would....

so in essense , rating your site is 100% useless. other than to give yourself and others a false sense of security

rating childrens sites as childrens sites , NOW THAT MAKES SENESE

If you want to sleep sound at night stop advertising on torrent sites that trade child porn.

Self-regulation has it's benefits, but it's simply not realistic to think that either of these labels will have a significant impact. A nice gesture to the community, sure... but real results?

Even if this plan was law, you're still leaving out a potentially infinite number of outlets. Websites hosted in nations that don't comply (where other decency laws might not be as strict (so, in actuality, you'd be indirectly promoting that kind of content to the desktops of the underage - as I think was already pointed out)), Torrent Sites, old-school BBS'es (and other file-sharing mediums), etc.

You can't regulate the world. If a kid wants it, he's going to get it.

I'm with Voodoo, Smokey, et al on this one.

Label "kid-friendly" sites... and allow people to exclude browsers/computers from surfing outside that network of sites.

Doing it the way this thread suggests - while maybe dripping with good intentions - is backwards, IMHO.

The only "benefit" it gives (besides maybe the slight benefit we'd derive by appearing as we're 'trying') is the delivery our industry into the hands of those that may wish to undo us.

It'd have no impact on any underage kid that has even half of the computer knowledge most of us did at their age.

:2 cents:

Children should be filtered. Adult Sites should not.
