Abstract

Techniques for determining age-content type appropriate ratings for a media on behalf of a user may be provided. For example, information about age-content type appropriate ratings for a plurality of media works may be maintained where the information is associated with a particular user. A determination of whether the particular user has consumed a media work in response to receiving an indication that a user is browsing to the media work in a user interface may be provided. A group that the user belongs to may be identified based on other users that have specified age-content type appropriate ratings for the plurality of media works that are within a range of ratings provided by the user for the plurality of media works. Age-content appropriate ratings for the media work may be determined for the particular user based on an algorithm using the information and the ratings specified by the group.
