Websites Could Get Film-Style Ratings

I happened to bump into an interesting news tonight when surfing Google news. The news said English websites could soon get rated in a way that similiar to the one the movie industry is doing. What would be your response if you are not allowed to view a website because it is rated 'not suitable' for you? Would you scream out 'freedom of speech forever' and then hurl straight your mouse into monitor? We have been censoring through out our lives. We got censored on TV, newspaper and virtually all major offline media available on earth. Unfortunately, we couldn't escape the gorgeous censorship by turning to online world. What have you got online? Great Fire Wall! So website censorship is no news to me, as our government has for ages helped us, willingly or unwillingly, sort out the online material in a bid to 'protect' us. What a government! Thank you!

What do you think about this website rating system?
