I heard on the news that Obama's currently working with the UK goverment on a website rating sytem. I think it's going to fail because it's goiong to be hard to rate websites like Wikipedia. What do you guys think of it?

EDIT: Mods, please change the title if I spelt Obama wrong.

That's what I thought when I first saw the news story.

Obama = Awesome
Censorship = F*cking lame

No, Obama is awesome, cencoring the enitre internet is just a job to great for any people to do.

If they censor the internet, EVERYTHING would go away. However A) this only says "rating", not "censoring" and B) I have not seen this anywhere other than this thread, so it might not be true.
They're not cencoring it, they are just making a website rating thing so kids are "safe".

Proof of Obama's plan:

Censorship is only bad when it's abused, which only really happens in Totalitarian countries.
 
I think this going to make the internet worse, cause if something is working perfectly when you find it, you will be an idiot if you changed it.
 
Yeah, I really dought this is going to work, it's not like rating movies, there's too many Websites, and it will probably misjudge them.

Yeah. I can only see sites like Wikipedia getting an Adults Only sort of rating, it's like trying to rate an encyclopedia. In fact, in many cases, it IS rating an encyclopedia.
It's not like Wikipedia is a pornography site, it's an educational site, so I disagree, but that's me.
 
Hey!!! I got an idea! I'll send CNN a link to this topic to show how Obama's plan is going to fail!!!
Now does anybody know CNN's E-mail address? ???

cnn@cnn[b].cnn[/b]
Um... I think it's more like .com...
Plus they would have more like a mailbag e-mail for talking to them.

Parents will complain eventually if Wikipedia doesn't get an Adults Only rating. That's just how things go here in America. Things being "Child Safe" always comes before education.
We're not that picky over here, anyone who is that protective is just an idiot in my opinion.
 
Back one topic.

Does anybody else have an opion on this?

People can often spot out a bad site themselves.

ANd little kids probably wouldnt be able to figure out how to browse to a different site anyway.

It seems redundant.
