They already do flag themselves and have done for at least 20 years. But apparently most parents are dipshits who dont install content blockers.

    Is this right? Out of curiosity, how do these sites flag themselves as content for adults?

    Obviously, this is the solution. Sites that do this correctly, and software that detects the metadata. Parents are the ones that need to choose the correct software and enable the correct settings.

    Sites that do not set the correct metadata are legible to be banned by authorities.

    It’s called RTA and it’s a tag that goes in the header of each html page to be restricted. All “mainstream” US adult operators back the scheme as a sort of self-regulation.
