If it's so restrictive that no adult content at all can be viewed with it on, then I can see many people opting out of it.
My understanding of what is to happen is that ISPs will use a default of not being able to view adult content for new users(from next year)...and that current customers will be told that they will have to opt in to view adult content.....and this will apply to all devices for your internet address...so if someone is using your internet, they will be unable to access adult material unless they have a pin number.

I will stand corrected if anyone knows any different.
