Safety of Site Content
This site previously used two rating systems to ensure content is safe for all viewers (including children):
ICRA (Internet Content Rating Association) and SafeSurf are rating systems that allow parents and others to make informed choices about what content to make available without harming free speech on the Internet or introducing government censorship.
Both use PICS (Platform for Internet Content Selection), which is not itself a rating system, but an Internet protocol to allow ratings to be transferred and understood across the Internet.
ICRA has since been discontinued and the headers have now been removed from the site. However, this site continues to contain no material that would be objectionable to either system.
