While the immediate goal with this is understandable, it smacks of an 'approved content' voucher. These kind of things are always ineffective and end up being a way for government to insert itself into your life and charge for the privilege. These sites could instead use re-capchas featuring trivia from the past which only adults would get - select famous personalities etc. Or ISPs and telcos could offer 'family' filters built into some of their plans, etc. So many ways to tackle this issue without the heavy-handed involvement of government.

> Or ISPs and telcos could offer 'family' filters built into some of their plans, etc. And they already do this, it's switched on by default. Sometimes you can't even visit innocuous websites because of these filters. The 'trivia quiz' approach reminds me of the classic game Leisure Suit Larry, you could crack it just by randomly trying different answers :)

No need for adult trivia captchas, since this is not an actual issue to deal with. Adults are already responsible for children and have to guard them from all kinds of perceived and real danger.
