Content rating most often means the suitability of TV broadcasts, movies, comic books, or computer games to its audience.
The introduction of Internet to the global population has revolutionized the way of accessing a variety of content. While there is a lot of healthy and useful information on the Internet, there are some materials which can be considered potentially harmful to young people.
The online community consists of not only children, but readers/viewers with varying ages, backgrounds and preferences. Therefore relevant sectors such as the Internet service providers and content providers have a responsibility in carrying out appropriate Content Rating Systems to protect the rights on adequate information for all users equally.

Famous quotes containing the word content:
“You can hardly convince a man of an error in a life-time, but must content yourself with the reflection that the progress of science is slow. If he is not convinced, his grandchildren may be. The geologists tell us that it took one hundred years to prove that fossils are organic, and one hundred and fifty more to prove that they are not to be referred to the Noachian deluge.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
