eContent Ratings In
Taiwan
Taiwan
intends to impose an Internet content ratings system similar to
movie ratings starting in late October 2005.
The
Taiwanese GIO said Internet content under the coming ratings system
would likely fall under four categories, general, protection (barred
from children under six years old), PG18 (barred from those under
12 years old, with those 12-18 requiring parental or guardianship
accompaniment), and restricted (adults only).
The
government intends for city and county governments to enforce
the ratings, though it isn't yet determined exactly what kind
of content beyond porn and violent content might be considered
adults only or acceptable for kids joined by their parents.
The
government may also fine Internet service providers and content
providers alike in six figures and order their suspension from
operations, if they fail to grade their information under the
guidelines of the coming ratings system, the CIO said.
