Sounds like a good idea, giving internet users every last shred of information so that they can make the fully informed decision whether or not to proceed, and inflict a web-site's actual content on themselves... but 1) ever since the concept was invented for the cinema, children have been finding ways round it, and 2) if this is meant to inform parents, wouldn't it help if the parents were actually involved in their children's internet activities to begin with? "Oh, it's too complicated", "oh, I just let them get on with it - they get all that stuff at school, so how can I hope to understand it?"... we've heard it all before.

Parents will never let anything this simple work, good idea or not. It will require them to actually do the unthinkable, namely get off their sorry asses and do some parenting, which includes saying "No" to your children every now and then. Oh my, we can't do that - think of their Human Rights...!

That is all.
