If you want to watch it on t'internet then your going to have to prove how old you are. So who's going to be brave/stupid enough to give your drivers licence or passport details over to a porn site? The end of porn as we know it
Authoritarian religious nonsense. The vicar's daughter doesn't want anyone to have a ****. Encouraging people to use proxies and VPNs is really clever, though. Can't see that backfiring. Nope.
Worse than that, the complete absolution of parental control by morons. 1. Your kid under the legal age for viewing porn ?? 2. Do they have devices with Internet connectivity ?? 3. Do you have administrative control over those devices (the apps they are permitted to install, use of content blocker/filter tools like CyberNanny etc) ?? Simple "Pareto principle" behaviour that will cover nearly all of the "moral panic" scenarios.
