Subject: PICs free site logo
The Platform for Internet Content Selection (PICS) is being used to end
the free transmission of material on the internet. Originators of web
material are being encouraged to rate their sites and pages so that they
may be screened out by users and service providers who consider them
offensive.
We are asking web sites to display the attached PICS free logo in
opposition to this attempt to control the internet for the following
reasons:
It is the first step on the road to full certification (i.e. censorship)
of this new medium, where anyone who does not PICS-rate their Web site
is subject to moral opprobrium;
It takes judgement about what users are able to access on the internet
out of their hands and gives it to self-appointed moral guardians such
as ratings authorities and regulatory bodies;
It demands that the whole of the internet has to be oriented around the
protection of children.
Most importantly it assumes that ordinary people are too stupid or too
weak to assess for themselves what is presented to them.
Trust yourself and keep your site PICS Free.
Please add the logo and above text to your site. Alternatively paste the
HTML below into your home page for quickest results:

PICS free sites.
