Sounds like a good idea. Children should not visit those sites.

Even if we accept your statement as 100% universal truth, there is still the question whether we want our government collecting information about adults vising these sites. I don't want the government snooping on my porn habits (and probably leaking them, given past government system breaches).

They shouldn't but this will push kids into networking literacy at an earlier age.

That's the parents responsibility. Not the states, and not the websites.

  Do you agree with a legal drinking or smoking age?

    Do I agree with a totally unrelated concept? Maybe yes, maybe no, it's irrelevant. You don't get cancer from porn, and you can't porn yourself to death. Information and substances aren't equivalent, so let's move on from here.

      In good faith, it sounds like you see the difference as “alcohol/cigarettes can kill you so it’s different.” How about e-cigarettes? I see some similarity to pornography; they’re arguably both not harmful — vaping doesn’t cause cancer; it was invented as a safe alternative.

        Nicotine is carcinogenic; so close, but no cigar.

        I don’t think that is correct. https://blog.dana-farber.org/insight/2018/07/nicotine-cause-cancer/ https://blog.dana-farber.org/insight/2018/07/nicotine-cause-...

        Sure. Thanks for the corrections. From the link: >This does not mean that nicotine is completely safe. The U.S. Surgeon General has found that nicotine exposure during pregnancy can harm the fetus and have lasting consequences for brain and lung function in newborns, according to the American Lung Association. Nicotine also has a negative impact on brain development in adolescents, according to the Surgeon General. There's a reason we have FDA.

Children have enough tech info that this is meaningless. They'll also go right to the next page. Or just use Reddit or Twitter which are never getting blocked.

  Yeah, the technical details make this idea unimplementable. The idea is otherwise sound.
