While the Government might not care about porn, whatever laws they make to protect their mainstream favorites like movies and music will also apply to porn because they are all under the same umbrella called intellectual property. Make solid laws to protect intellectual property online and porn gets the same protection whether they like it or not.
As far as your Government shutting down " bad " sites statement you are making " bad " and " illegal " the same and they should be different. While porn may be " bad " in some people's opinion it is not illegal and in most cases it's protected by the 1st amendment which wasn't written specifically to save porn but porn indirectly benefited by it.
When the Government makes a law to protect mainstream intellectual property porn will also benefit from it.
