As the Internet grows, so too is concern over what people are actually viewing.
Corporations, government bodies and parents all wish to know that the Internet content viewed on their computers is appropriate.
There have been several cases to date of sexual harassment in the workplace where
individuals have sued companies under the guise of an unsafe working environment due to having seen pornography on a colleagues screen. Therefore companies are instituting content control at the server or proxy
level, restricting offensive and even un-rated sites from ever reaching the employee. This means that without a PICS (Platform for Internet Content Selection) rating, your site may be blocked unnecessarily in some
major corporations and most likely all large companies in the near future! Your site needs to be accepted by filters that rate Internet content.
The above can be implemented through the use of Meta
tags that can be placed in web documents. The importance of these Meta tags is increasing. The rating tags indicate the rating of your site's content.
Position Agents can search through your
site to verify that certain meta tags such as ones relating to PICS rating exist. Your enterprise may also have additional required Meta tags that need to be verified. Position Agents allows the user to
check for the presence of various Meta tags across the web site. The verification of meta tags allows you to ensure that meta tags throughout your site are standard and appropriate to your business. With legal cases
rising yearly, can you afford to take chances with your content?
