Attorney General proposes mandatory website labeling

[CDSmith]

I can see the need and the desire for a standard system that all webmasters must follow, if not all US webmasters. However, I'd like to see them propose something that would be a little more effective than "new government warning labels" on warning pages. Look how effective their warning labels have been on curtailing smoking.

Focusing on the way sites are keyworded is something they really should look at closer. I still see sites popping up in searches I do that have no relevance whatsoever to the search terms I used, and that goes for both adult and mainstream sites. There are notorious offenders on both sides.

And how about this?... Maybe they should propose something in the way of forcing parents to take more control and responsibility for what their innocent little darlings are doing while online? Just a thought.

Hell, even me being in Canada I'll still put up their warning labels if it comes to that, but it would be nice to see something a little more effective as a standard.

CDSmith, your third paragraph makes the most sense of all. Sadly it involves people accepting responsibility and will never happen. It just makes too much sense I guess.
