Yikes, the government is cracking down on the ways US sites can use Keywords. This doesn't only apply to porn. but to any material deemed harmful to minors. Much wider gate than obscenity. For that matter "obscenity" isn't neccesarily porn either.

(a) IN GENERAL.—Chapter 110 of title 18, United
States Code, is amended by inserting after section 2252B
the following:
‘‘? 2252C. Misleading words or digital images on the
Internet

tuting obscenity shall be fined under this title and impris-
oned for not more than 10 years.
‘‘(b) MINORS.—Whoever knowingly embeds words or
digital images into the source code of a website with the
intent to deceive a minor into viewing material harmful
