Not really. It just depends on how much effort you want to put into policing it. It also depends on whether you're trying to regulate the sites themselves or merely what can be accessed.
Regulation of sites exists but is not very effective; it is simply too easy for problem sites to re-register under a different name (and usually in an offshore domain where the regulation is loose).
Regulation of access is more common. The biggest such effort today is probably the Chinese government's restrictions on what their citizens can access, but the most widespread type is probably corporate restrictions, which are actually quite pervasive (and effective in proportion to the amount of effort the IT department puts into making sure there are no loopholes). Also, don't forget the many parents who use various software packages to limit what their children can view. At this level the effectiveness is probably quite low. ;-)

I'd say that was true.
There are too many international boundaries for them to formulate rules. You know governments are like. Plus the fact that one country's taboo is the norm in another.

Presumably, so that they can be sure you can be left on your own to do a job, without someone else forever having to check -up on you.

China is pretty good at policing their internet.
