I understand this perfectly. Most adult webmasters will understand this and in the perfect world it could work. Are you thinking past the proposal stage and how the opponents are going to react?
The issue is not a matter of whether you and I understand it but a matter of how congress, the media and voters understand it. They will see the word "adult" and forget all about violence, hate and other types of adult material and only think about sex.
Unless the label specifically says "Adult Violence", "Adult Hate", "Adult Drugs", "Adult Etc...." the media will make out the label "Adult" to just be for sexual material. It makes for a much more interesting story and it also keeps them from having to label any content on their own websites.
I know it's for labeling many things but they will make it out to be for just sex and that means they don't have to label anything and the label for us won't go far enough.
Is anyone here thinking past the technology and into the negotiation stage of this proposal?
