This is hard to do on PCs where you can install your own operating system and have full control, but they're not the dominant Internet device anymore. You would have to make those illegal or illegal for children to have. But this is effectively possible on modern phones.

A. This requires all states and all countries to agree what is and is not safe content
B. Enforcement across national borders will be inefficient unless the two countries are tightly coupled. Disagreements could be leveraged for political ends (just think of current conflicts).
C. Unless a site that hosts user-generated content reviews every single item of content before allowing it to be published, it can't guarantee that all content on its platform is safe. Therefore it would have to be marked unsafe unless a special provision is made here.

Also, the enforcement is pretty efficient, there are police raids on sites with illegal content, and people get arrested for it. > Unless a site that hosts user-generated content reviews every single item of content before allowing it to be published, it can't guarantee that all content on its platform is safe. Then it doesn't get a "safe" rating.
