* This is not about how to restrict, but how to advise.
Schools could "subscribe" to an approval service so that their clients
would first check the "rating" from a central repository before accessing
the page. It is easier to spend an additional $500/year and not have to
worry about www.playboy.com, or news:alt.sex.stories showing up on
their Elementrary school terminals. At some level such an review board
is going to have a nitch in this system.
What I want to make sure is that we can make that nitch as small as
possible. I don't want to have to pay an entity to review my content
before releasing to a "wide" audiance. If at the very least we set up
a standard guidline system and can make it work, we might avoid the
need for the above entity.
Bottom line:
When MCI ships you your copy of Netscape to run on your home PC,
how can we insure that our information is accessable. Without
going to a central guildline repository.
We need also to insure that it is difficult to get around this system,
yes if somebody can download and install a client, connect it to the
net, they get what they ask for. At the same time when Dad does it
and sets it into advisory mode, we want to make sure _he_ feels safe.
