The Internet Content Rating Association (ICRA) is an international, non-profit organization of internet leaders working to develop a safer internet. ICRA has long believed that self-regulation leads to the best balance between the free flow of digital content and protecting children from potentially harmful material.

Users, especially parents of young children, can then use filtering software to allow or disallow access to web sites based on the information declared in the label.
