Simply because they could make the billing processors bill only for sites using .xxx extensions. So by doing that an American law could effect the mass of all online adult.
Not that I think it would ever happen or stand up in a 1st amendment fight but you have to think about the worst case scenarios.
Just remember domain extensions or not, all the US govt has to do is put pressure on the credit card companies the same way they have done with online gambling and things could get real bad real quick for everyone no matter where you are located.

ultimately, yes that is the case. but xxx will create a rogue opportunity. u.s. people are fucked no matter what. opportunities will be created for people in other countries to exploit the xxx issue. there are lots of billing companies used for all sorts of things that ccbill and epoch and all those bound by u.s. laws can't process. i see opportunities arisign for anyone who lives where the laws thumb their nose at the u.s. tld filtering is ineffective and with that tech advantage there are ops. maybe i have tin hat syndrome.
