Unintended consequence, my ass

This Register article on new US anti-porn actions has a strong headline and lede:

US rules all porn is child porn
All pornography in the US is now effectively classified as child pornography, unless providers can prove the ages of everyone taking part.

...but displays unfortunate naïveté further in:

While the law is designed to protect minors, and prevent exploitation, some free speech campaigners argue that the law gives authorities an awful lot of power to close down site they don't approve of, even if that was not its original goal.

Yeah, right. Keep telling yourself that, guys.
