Actually, this thought just crossed my mind:

We already have a content classification system for "G", "P", "M", "M  
15+", "R", "X".

So why not just rate the entire Internet as "R"? Then it would be  
illegal to give children access to it at all! Problem solved without  
having to install lots of government censorship :)

Companies like Web Shield[1] or AOL could provide a "cleaned up"  
Internet which could then be rated "P" (for parental guidance).
