I don't understand how this can work. If I understand correctly they want to have anyone who provides adult content to do so on a port other than 80. So just how are they going to enforce that? Are they going to put together a group that searches the Internet looking for porn that is on 80. Are they then going to track them all down and fine them or some such?

Don't get me wrong I would love it to work, but it just sounds like a money pit.

I am unsure why you think the implementation is bad.  If you don't like
the way they set it up, you have the option to ignore it...

"A consumer who wants access to websites within non-compliant countries
will continue to have access to all websites, worldwide. Thus each
consumer's choice is unrestricted and flexible. "

I think their setup has similar merits to movie ratings.  I know movie
ratings aren't perfect, but it at least gives you some idea of the type
of content, which is better than nothing.

I also think this benefits more then browsing children.  Think about
office browsing.
