Keeping out kids: can ICRA labelling be done site-wide?

[rowan]

I'm pretty sure I saw something about being able to sent a HTTP header so that every single page served by a domain was automatically ICRA labelled, rather than needing to edit each one (or include a template). Is this doable?

I know about the RTA label ( http://www.rtalabel.org/howto.php ) but I'm a little unsure about the unique ID that's embedded in it. What does it signify?

Another interesting thng I saw when browsing the ICRA site was the ability for Digimarc to embed an invisible watermark that labels an image as adult in nature - this means that suitably labelled images will be blocked regardless of what (if any) labelling the page they're referenced from has...

I knew I should have appended "HOT ASS AND TITTY PIC" to the thread title

I have a file that contains the RTA and ICRA info that I place on every page of every domain.

If anything changes then I update one file and it's picked up by all the pages.

Does your RTA label have the same number as this? I tried it with a couple of different browsers and temporarily disabled my proxy to force a different IP, but it doesn't seem to change.

<meta name="RATING" content="RTA-5042-1996-1400-1577-RTA">

I'm curious what it's for, looks like some sort of tracking mechanism to me.

bump of an important biz thread, keep them off your site

For your information, KIDS are getting their free porn on P2P and bit torrent sites. What kid wants to look at a free tour without access to a credit card to join, when he can get all the free porn he wants on the file sharing networks?

I have a 15 year old cousin who admitted to me he downloads ooodles of porn from several file sharing networks.

I don't think a label system is the answer in this day and age. Times have changed.

I know it's going to be easy for the average clued up kid to bypass. Does that mean I shouldn't try to stop them? I'm trying to be a responsible adult webmaster, no one can say I don't give a fuck...

Not saying you are in the wrong. But I am suggesting that someone smarter than me needs to come up with something better. By all means, do what you can. I just don't think it's the answer.

I was always for a .KIDS domain and parents could set their computers to ONLY allow that domain load, blocking everything else. I think that would solve a lot of issues for young children.

I believe a walled garden is really the only way to effectively limit access, but it requires a lot of admin overhead as it's effectively a closed off intranet.

Having a dedicated TLD would help, but it still relies on a bunch of unrelated third parties (the domain and website owners) doing the right thing. It wouldn't be long before someone managed to register a .kids domain with no intention of putting child safe content on it.

Anyway, this is getting a little off the track...
