Senate Bill Aims at Web Porn Sites

[Maj. Stress]

The bill also would require adult websites to have a clean homepage that asks a visitor to enter his or her birth date before allowing passage to pornographic pages.
I don't really like that part. They would be taking away the prime ad spots (at least in my view of things). That would give an unfair advantage to webmasters that don't fall under the jurisdiction of this law. At least it's not a law yet. Hopefully there is some small chance of intelligent life in the Capitol.

That is a good point. One side effect of all this (inclusive of 2257) is that it hurts US webmasters to the benefit of foreign webmasters.

Also the idea of a flag or otherwise keeping kids out is grand and all...but you know the government will want to always go further. Licensing required to own an adult domain....complete with a "fee" (tax) and of course the typical bullshit like filling out an application, going through background checks and such too. What a great way to raise money and who will complain if you tax the mean old perverted adult webmasters!! I would not be surprised if all this were not far behind that. It is hard to trust them when clearly they do not respect the industry.
