...ridiculous government suggestion yet? Source - BBC News:-

Now, I may have been a freakish little boy aged 10-15, but one thing I always knew. If a video had a 15 or 18 certificate, it would definitely be more FUN than those boring U or PG ratings. (Being an innocent little boy, it was horrors and action films I was into, not 'adult').
Is clear signposting of a websites age content any use whatsoever? I mean, a) it would surely encourage children to look, b) the internet can be traversed with consummate ease, and hence this idea is utterly pointless?
My question is, is there a more effective way to safeguard children from the internet dangers? Or are firewalls/child access functions already existing more than adequate?
Steph:- I actually left out a paragraph on should we not try harder to eliminate the predatory tactics of some who may endanger the children - good point
Irk-o-Shower:- I always talk in centimetres. It is best to be honest. Unless we are discussing loofahs. Then I assure you, it is the full fourteen inches.
