Porn is just the excuse...
"The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) which enforces movie copyrights, on the other hand has taken the position with the FCC that network neutrality could hurt anti-piracy technology such as deep packet inspection and other forms of filtering. To protect themselves against lawsuits, court injunctions, and government policies and regulations, ISPs are employing DPI to prevent illegal distribution of copyrighted materials by their subscribers."
In the 1960's, hollywood bowed to the FCC by showing only "wholesome" tv shows because of a perceived threat against the broadcast licenses. This may also be in play.
While NOBODY wants kiddie porn on the net, this is a clear attempt by the MPAA/RIAA to inflict policy via our legislatures.
