I wholeheartedly agree. Worse, these verification "solutions" distract from fixing the actual underlying issue.

We need better supervision which demands better parental controls which demands better content filtering which demands better content classification.

So fix the root. Legally mandate a standardized protocol for self reporting the content rating of resources.

Yep, recycling a post about reasons to do it that way:

> 1. Most of the dollar costs of making it all happen will be paid by the people who actually need/use the feature.

> 2. No toxic Orwellian panopticon.

> 3. Key enforcement falls into a realm non-technical parents can actually observe and act upon: What device is little Timmy holding?

> 4. Every site in the world will not need a monthly update to handle Elbonia's rite of manhood on the 17th lunar year to make it permitted to see bare ankles. Instead, parents of that region/religion can download their own damn plugin.
