It's unclear to me that any government plan to rate media would pass first amendment scrutiny. Are there any official government rating regulations?

It probably would not pass scrutiny. The FCC can only even enforce broadcast regulations because the EM spectrum is a scarce resource; they don't for cable or Internet media.

Politicians in general have a bad habit of threatening and passing speech laws that judges torch on sight.
