Between Miley’s sledgehammer-licking, Robin Thicke’s cavorting with naked women and Rihanna’s hardcore twerking, it was only a matter of time before the outraged classes called for age rating on online video content.

The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) has requested an age-rating system for online videos to be put in place as soon as possible.

In an age of borderless media implementing it will have its challenges, however, in the BBFC’s latest guidance it states: "The classification of a music video will take account of any elements which are of concern to parents, including glamorisation of behaviour which they consider inappropriate."

How soon their Irish counterparts take similar action remains to be seen but would you be in favour of age classification on digital content?
