As I always note in threads like this, this is not a problem of censorship or defining what is "pornography". These are all distractions from the real problem: a legalized violence employed by people calling themselves "government" to achieve their ends.
"Anti-porn law" in plain words means this: if you happen to provide an internet connection to some people, you will have to do what we say, or we will bring people with guns to make you to or give up your property (and maybe put you in jail too). We may ask for suggestions in form of "petitions" and "voting", but only within the imposed framework which you are not allowed to bypass. E.g. you are not allowed to vote for not sponsoring this whole mess by not paying your taxes. And even if you can, there's a mob rule: 50%+1 will overrule you.
When Apple censors porn on App Store, no one really cares because Apple does not point guns at people. You may use any other device, any other distribution platform. You can build one on your own. Apple only tries to be nice to people and attract customers voluntarily. This 180º opposite from how government operates. Government does not really try to please people, that's only for decoration. Underlying principle is to force everyone to obey.
