For my money, the assumption should be made that the internet as a whole is 18+ environment. ADULTS ONLY. Sites that want to be child safe can register, get checked, and become child safe.

Think about it. Every blog, every news site, every... well, almost whatever except disney MIGHT have material not suitable for minors of one sort or another. Attempting to register and block off 95% of the sites is a pointless exercise when the burden could be put on the few child safe sites to work out a way to make themselves flagged as "acceptable".

The internet would be a much better place if the collective governments would just leave us the fuck alone.
