So, wondering what everyone else makes of IFFOR delving into the "child protection" field...

It's one thing to say that steps will be made to keep child pornography off of .XXX sites, but seems to me something different to take it further than that. Creating some kind of link between legitimate adult content and child abusers seems odd, because one has NOTHING to do with the other.
It used to annoy me to no end when the mainstream press seemed to want to lump adult entertainment and child pornography together... as if one caused the other. IFFOR taking the "child advocacy" direction seems a bit like casinos running service announcements for gambling addiction resources. Or an oil company feeling compelled to run commercials about how they're really fantastic for the environment!
So what does everyone else think... is this a good idea to go beyond just keeping child porn away, or does it help create and legitimize erroneous suggestions of a link between adult entertainment and child abuse? Or... is this nothing more than the equivalent of a sleazy politician trying to legitimize itself by kissing babies and passing worthless legislation "for the children" to win over easily manipulated voters?
I'm guessing there's a wide range of opinions on this one.
