kaufmanmoore writes "UK culture secretary Andy Burnham calls for [0]a
website rating system similar to the one used for movies in an interview
with the Daily Telegraph. He also calls for censorship of the internet,
saying, 'There is content that should just not be available to be
viewed.' Other proposals he mentions in his wide-ranging calls for
internet regulation are 'family-friendly' services from ISPs, and
requiring takedown notices to be enforced within a specific time for
sites that host content. Mr. Burnham wants to extend his proposals across
the pond and seeks meetings with the Obama administration."
