Web Ratings?

MP, Andy Burnham wants to give websites film like ratings –

“There is content that should just not be available to be viewed. That is my view. Absolutely categorical. This is not a campaign against free speech, far from it; it is simply there is a wider public interest at stake when it involves harm to other people. We have got to get better at defining where the public interest lies and being clear about it.”

How can someone say that you should not be able to view some content on the internet and then say that he’s not working against free speech? The whole idea of giving websites ratings is ridiculous.

If some action has to be taken, I believe that a better, and indirect course of action would be to educate parents about the possible problems that children can run into on the net.
