Hmm. One of them's my mother. I was talking to her about this and she thought that labeling and allowing browsers to filter based on the labels was a wonderful idea. I guess she's got a point.There are four kids in our family, ages 7, 10, 12, and 15 (me) and we use AOL as an ISP. Yeah, I know, I hate it too, but my mom pays for it and I'm too cheap to pay for another ISP. Mom likes it 'cause you can set up different screennames on one account and set different filters for each screenname.AOL's rating system is done by humans, not software, and anything they haven't rated is blocked if the filters are set for anything but allowing all material through. So from that point of view there are advantages to a labeling system. What scares me, and she doesn't seem to realize, is how soon this could move from ratings to optional filters to outright censorship.
