My proposal does not give google any extra power or extra user data or even implicit trust.
I did not propose any rules. I proposed a header.
Google already creates and re-creates "the internet" for the vast majority of people on the regular basis by messing with its algorithm, pre-empting search results with AI-spam, showing ads, etc.
My statement was an assertion that the power google holds over the internet at-large is enough to incentivize compliance with opt-in content ratings for huge amounts of the web.
I also said nothing about adult search terms. The point is that an adult website can mark itself as one intentionally (X-Cotent-Rating: Mature) and then when google gets a search from a child's computer those results are simply filtered out. they already do this but site owners have no way to tell the world their intended audience.
- ipython 2y agoMy point was that this was already done (the links I shared - w3c standard that addressed this exact problem) and it utterly failed. TBH with today's AI capabilities, it could be built in to the OS or browser - no header necessary. I'm surprised this doesn't exist already.
- liveoneggs 2y agothat contradicts your earlier gripe about "consolidation" etc
- ipython 2y agoNo, you rightfully point out that it takes someone in a “monopoly” or regulatory power to … coerce … compliance with said standard. Hence the comments about who we want to be in that position-
