I just heard about CP80, which you can read about at cp80.org. They're proposing legislation to require ISPs to only route "clean" traffic through port 80 (the "Community Port"), and to route "adult" content through other ports (the "Open Port"). You can read about the technical details here:
http://www.cp80.org/content/solutions/community-ports It *almost* sounds like it would work, but: "The appropriate Internet governing body would establish policies for content-specific ports, making it illegal for content deemed "inappropriate for minors" to be routed via the Community Ports. Publishers of mature content would have to sanitize their Community Port presence and use the Open Port ranges to publish adult content." Since any Thinking Human Being* would agree that passing this legislation would be a Bad Thing, I'll skip over that discussion and just ask - would anyone be willing to help me mobilize opposition to the bill being proposed?
