No offence to anyone here, I work in adult too but if you can't see why they think it needs moderation you're fucked.
Whether or not I think they SHOULD block it is a different story ( I obviously don't )
I don't think the government has (or should have) any right to block anything.. if it's being controlled and regulated by it's own industry, which isn't happening in adult.

With the recent economic crisis anyone who advocates self regulation by any industry has to be smoking some pretty good stuff. Pass the roach.

Here's WHY they want to block it.
Free speech comes above all else until you infringe on someone elses rights.. and when you can't even search google for non adult terms or check your email without some porn all over, it's infringing on the rights of people that don't want their inbox full of porn, or to see smut all over the net when they're not looking for it.
We have webmasters spamming their BDSM sites on kids forums, 1000's of porn spam emails a day, Tube sites that do nothing to verify the viewer is of age, with thousands and thousands of videos, some being the sickest fucking videos you could imagine and you can't do anything, or search for anything without finding porn.. the adult industry has turned the net into a cesspool...
You have to admit it's a little over the top sometimes in this biz.
Perhaps it's time people in adult moderated themselves before the government does it for us.

Are you sure self regulation would get rid of any of the the above?
And that's the hole in your argument, did self regulation or even laws stop Enron and everyone else involved in inflating stocks so they could pay themselves massive bonuses? No we need governments to regulate us or we will all take advantage. It's not 100% but it's better than nothing.
Governments need to sit down together and resolve the situation with the Internet, content and business. It's a great way to make or lose money, it's a great way to communicate, it's also a great way to abuse the system. As you point out.
