I don't know how they are planing on handling this one, You can put just about any keyword or search anything and find a porno site that is somehow linked to it. The for proft sites would be easer to regulate, but what about the private for free sites, there are people that like to show off what they got or don't got. How do you regulate that kind of stuff? (Legaly I mean)

I think it should be rather easy to regulate ALL pornographic sites. Introduce a regulation stating ANY site containing excessive nudity, sexually suggestive material or information and pictures or descriptions of sexual acts MUST be categorized as Adult Material. As such, NO site categorized as "Adult Material" is available for viewing without a password. You then make the individuals Driver's license# (for Americans) their password. That way, their age can be verified immediately. And most adults are pretty careful about keeping up with their license. I think it would be harder for kids to get hold of the driver's license than it would the credit card (of course, that's just my opinion and could be wrong).
Once the Adult Material category is established and the software is implemented to check passwords, it won't matter if kids find a link to the site by typing in a keyword. They may click on the link - but NO PICTURES or stories are available for viewing until a valid password is entered. You use the driver's license# for those sites that want to offer free pics to their customers - and you eliminate "age verification" through credit cards. The only sites requesting credit cards would be the premium (or pay) sites. That way, each individual can decide if they want to just view the free stuff, or if they are willig to pay for access to premium sites.
That makes it at least a TWO-step process for kids to get into the premium sites. It won't eliminate them viewing it, but it should significantly reduce the number of kids viewing those sites. [/QUOTE]That may work for sites inside the USA, but you'd have to pass a law that forced wedsite hosters and hosterettes

to view and catorgerize each site they host. If they don't then what is there to stop me from making a site to show off my "goodies"? (now that I've left that visual for you people

) I don't know how that is going to work for sites in other countries. How do you enforce it?
