If we set aside the privacy nightmare, consider this.
Teens wont stop searching for porn. Would you rather they find it on not-moderated sites, that might also consist of illegal content? Or might consists of nudes from people than didnt consent to their picture being online?
yes you’re right but you and I both know they aren’t concerned about that because going back to your first sentence that’s what this is really about but masked as a “won’t anyone think of the children” so it’s easier to swallow (no pun intended)
At least in the EU they will implement a verification system, meaning you only have to verify with the official government, and then you can use a anonymised token that gives the porn sites only the age.
It’s not perfect, but it’s far better than everything else suggested.
the recent California law seems to be better. what it requires is the parent to be able to configure the age for an OS account. browsers can then check the age bracket, and enforce the limit instead of having the website do it.

Everything is just dumb about this.
No considerations are taken for the children, this isn’t about them, it’s just populism & control.
True, it’s like the war on drugs, but drugs that can be perfectly copied infinite times and fully shared over the internet.
and not to mention, the tools required to create it (maybe not the best examples, but still) are already in the possession of virtually everybody.
