Propose labels for adult Web sites

[temi]

Operators of Web sites with racy content must label their sites and register in a national directory or be fined, according to a new U.S. Senate proposal that represents the latest effort among politicians to crack down on Internet sex. The requirements appear in legislation announced Thursday by two Senate Democrats, Mark Pryor of Arkansas and Max Baucus of Montana, that they say will "clean up the Internet for children."

I don't think this is actually a new stuff, responsible adult webmasters always add warning etc to their sites.

I've always liked an idea of having META tag for a sites content, so say it was adult...

<meta category="adult" />

So you could easily allow browsers to block the sites without messy filtering software. (Granted not all webmasters would obey the rules so you would still need filtering software )

Yes you have a good point about some webmasters not complying with labeling the site correctely, this is actually one of the reasons I supported the creation of .xxx domain, it will make it easy to filter the entire extension.
