I don't follow your reasoning, you support the current laws enacted by the government in this area (age verification, proposing ban from social media) but you end your comment saying you disagree with the government nannying kids as they do a poor job of it. Those seem contradictory?

Also, you don't need a VPN to get around the current set of age verification crap. All you need to do is to look at smaller providers, which the government ignored because it's unfeasible to regulate them. Or providers from different countries who just straight up don't care. It's not even hard to find these, pretty much just page 2 of Google.

The point being, any of these laws are unenforceable in reality. Preventing access to porn is not feasible in today's world. It was not feasible 30 years ago when the internet barely existed, except then yes it was magazines (and porn was still popular then because sex has always been popular in the history of humanity). In today's world if it came down to it I imagine it'd be SD cards or usb sticks. You seem to imagine it like walking into a store, in reality it'd be the 1 kid who got his older brother to download him porn and then sells it in school to his classmates for a few quid.

These existed for pirated movies and games ages ago when access to them was harder. There is no need for this today because it's easier to get it from the internet. If the government magically managed to change that (which is doubtful), these would just re-appear because there'd be money to make. Same story as drugs.

Regarding your last point, you phrased it like you were disagreeing with what I said, but basically just suggested the same but with concrete examples (re: better support for parents and the education system). I'm not sure what to make of that.
