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:
“In America the taint of sectarianism lies broad upon the land. Not content with acknowledging the supremacy as the Diety, and with erecting temples in his honor, where all can bow down with reverence, the pride and vanity of human reason enter into and pollute our worship, and the houses that should be of God and for God, alone, where he is to be honored with submissive faith, are too often merely schools of metaphysical and useless distinctions. The nation is sectarian, rather than Christian.”
—James Fenimore Cooper (1789–1851)
