Whilst I don't browse those websites myself, this legal issue seems nonsensical, and isn't going to meet the desired outcome. This is supposedly to protect minors, right?
In what world is that going to stop minors accessing this content? They will just use other means to gain access.
In addition, I'm pretty certain there have been several studies that show restricting access to adult content (and refusing to discuss sex etc at home) actually increases the chances of sexual deviancy and and problem behaviour.
It's like the law makers didn't even spend 10 minutes googling let alone consulting any experts.
I also think this sets a somewhat dangerous precedent legally. Or at least, a very messy one for lawmakers, enforcers and the public.
