The Coalition for Independent Ratings Services is a non-profit organization that promotes independent ratings services. We believe is crucial that the groups rating the movies, TV, video games, etc are not the same ones who are trying to sell those products to you. Since they don't have a financial interest in any particular product, independent ratings providers can be much more objective. The goal of this site is to be a "one-stop shop" for everything related to independent ratings systems and services. Click the links above to

Seventeen European social networking sites have signed an agreement with the European Union that provides for more protection of children under 18. Sites such as Facebook and MySpace will aim to shield children from cyber bullying and other inappropriate activity by keeping profiles of those under 18 private by default and non-searchable, and by providing an easy-to-use "report abuse" button on their sites. The companies are also aiming to make it more difficult for children under the age of 13 to create accounts.
