That's not censorship it's regulation.  It would be so easy to just  
make all adult content move over to .xxx.  Granted the demand for  
domain names would make for a nice economic boost in someones pocket.   
All existing .com/.net/ ...etc. would just need to redirect to the  
new .xxx.

If you are caught with adult content on a .com/.net/.etc you pay a  
fine and continued abuse results in the loss of the tld. Just like a  
drivers license works.

This would make the admins for forum sites go nuts with moderation.   
But it's no different then a bartender checking ID.
