Outside the box solution: don't age restrict access to porn. Every teenager is going to get it anyway.

Couldn't agree more if I cared to try.

Methinks this is much more about controlling and surveilling adults than "protecting" children from porn. If it was ever really about the latter at all.

It's about the latter but it doesn't have to work, just looks like you took action to solve a Daily Mail agenda..

Teenagers would get porn before the Internet. Before printed porn they'd carve it into cave walls. The "fertility goddesses" they find all over the neolithic are probably porn.

Back in the days before the internet they just cranked their hog to this.
