FCC exmaining a semi-universal rating system

Imagine, instead of having R for movies and M for video games, having just one rating for 18+ movies, music, video games etc. That is what the FCC is examining. The senior vice president for communications and industry affairs of the Entertainment Software association rich Taylor says "The ESA appreciates the FCC and its important role,However, the ESRB rating system is considered by parents, family advocates, the Federal Trade Commission, and elected officials as the gold standard in providing caregivers with the information they need to make the right choices for their families. Universal ratings will, in the end, only serve to confuse consumers, violate the Constitution's first amendment, and are a solution in search of a problem."Also the FCC has been asked to look into technologies that would allow parents to block children's access to inappropriate content across a variety of media. Currently, TVs are equipped with special technology that allow parents to prohibit access to TV programs of a certain rating, but many shows are still accessible through the Internet or cell phones.
