yeah...they did that already. It was called the Child Online Protection Act, or COPA. It essentially banned any website from broadcasting content unsuitable for a child. Bill Clinton signed it in 98. The federal courts killed it, because the law could not pass the strict scrutiny test the courts apply to free speech cases.
Playboy & Hustler also went through litigation in the 1970's that set legal precedents which settled the matter, that porn is protected by the first amendment.
