Abstract

A method for enforcing parental-control policies on user-generated content may include identifying a web document with user-generated content and identifying a set of links in the web document that relate to the user-generated content in the web document. The method may also include identifying a target web document for each link in the set of links and determining a parental-control rating for each link in the set of links based on the target web document. The method may further include generating a composite rating of the web document based on the parental-control rating of each link in the set of links. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable-storage media are also disclosed.
