| PICS PICS
is a specification in the latest official versions of HTML that allows Web
developers to include HTML tags with information about their site's
content. It can be used for code signing and privacy, but is generally
used to keep kids away from adult-oriented content. Current Web browsers
and filtering software read PICS tags, then decide whether or not to show
the site based on preferences set by parents (or bosses, teachers,
librarians, etc.). |
