Djilla, the problem stems from "label adult" as opposed to "label acceptable to children". The basic assumption is (incorrectly) that the WWW as a whole is safe for children, and only a few sites are "adult" in nature. In reality, most of the web in one form or another is not safe to be viewed by an 8 year old child.
Remember, adult doesn't mean porn, think of things like beer, wine, news, movies, chat rooms, discussions, blogs, video games... I could go on and on. Very very little of the internet is 100% safe for children. It should be for those people who want to make child safe content to register it as such and for browser manufactures to restrict access to those sites that permit children.
Forcing only adult sex sites to label and not requiring 100% of sites to label makes it a pointless exercise.
