Internet Content Rating Association

An invitation to join ICRA and its members

NB. Obtaining an ICRA label (meta tag) is free and does not constitute membership of the organization.

ICRA is a non-profit organization that brings together major internet industry players, telecommunications companies, content providers and child protection bodies. The dual aims are to protect children and free speech rights on the internet. It’s a challenging area in which interests, opinions and the enormous diversity of world cultures are all brought into focus.

Membership of ICRA means that your company’s voice will be heard in this crucial arena!

As of July 2001, membership is now open to a much wider range of companies and non-profit organizations with a subscription structure to match. Join us, and see your company logo alongside some of the biggest names in the industry.

How?

ICRA has created a system that empowers parents to protect children from material they believe to be harmful while protecting freedom of expression. Choice is not censorship. ICRA works with content providers toward the responsible development and growth of the internet.

The Internet Content Rating Association does not rate internet content. Content providers do that, using the ICRA system. ICRA makes no value judgments about which sites are suitable for a child. Parents and other concerned adults do that.

Why?

Membership of ICRA allows you to participate directly in the development of technology to protect children on the internet and to promote self-regulation, not government regulation. It’s a chance to act as a “good corporate citizen” – a sound business move as consumers favour companies that are identified with the protection of children. Finally of course, you sit at the table with leaders of the internet industry.
