ICRA |
Also found in: Acronyms, Wikipedia | 0.01 sec. |
ICRA(Internet Content Rating Association, www.icra.org) An organization dating back to 1994 that was created to protect children from potentially harmful online content and to protect free speech on the Internet. ICRA did not rate Web sites or label the content. Rather, it provided the rating system based on the PICS standard, and sites rated themselves by filling out an online questionnaire. Parents adjusted the content settings on their children's Web browsers to their own level of comfort. In 2007, ICRA's purpose and mission was broadened into the newly created Family Online Safety Institute (FOSI). See RSAC and FOSI. How to thank TFD for its existence?

Like SafeSurf, Web authors complete an online questionnaire describing the content of their site, upon which ICRA generates a content label using PICS computer coding, which the author adds to his/her site. FOSI will make the ICRA family of products and services part of a broader and deeper mission to incorporate technology, events, public policy and education. The ICRA prohibits the exclusion of evidence as a remedy for violations of its provisions. |
