Australian websites to get ratings for content, age

[zatoicchi]

Websites originating in Australia will soon be subject to a rating system that will tell users whether the content is appropriate for children of different ages. The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) announced today that it has approved what it's referring to as the "Content Services Code"—an addition to the Broadcasting Act 1992—and will apply it to content posted to the Internet, as well as that accessible from mobile devices.

The code was developed by the Internet Industry Association (IIA), a group that represents a number of Internet content providers in Australia. According to the ACMA, any content that is likely to be rated MA15+ (for mature audiences over the age of 15) must be assessed and classified by "trained content assessors." The purpose of this is, of course, to assist parents and children to decide what is appropriate for them.
