Quite a coincidental headline to read one day later:
"Principal fired after Florida students shown Michelangelo statue"
There used to be clear lines drawn for porn penetration, oral copulation, etc... but those lines have been quite burred. Now anything lewd could be porn and just about anything could be lewd in the eyes of the beholder. There's some case law that tries to put bullet-point requirements on this but is still somewhat subjective even when stare decisis is utilized.
Overall I agree with you. The government should stay out of it. The tech industry should also stay out of it. Just add a header for URL's that may contain user-generated content and let the clients decide what actions to take or not take on that header.
