>Why not enforce it here with something like an age verification? While I'd love this technical utopia, the Internet is a global construct. All it takes is someone in another country to decide they'd like to prey on kids by selling them porn, and your age verification goes out the window. To use your analogy, if the government can't even stop licensed stores in fixed physical locations from selling alcohol to kids (because it does happen), then how is one country going to enforce this in a globally distributed, virtual space?
