The main problem is that you may not want the state to know how many porn sites you're accessing.
That's where you'd want an intermediary: you log in on porn site A => redirects to some intermediary which only needs to check your age => login from the state, get age, send user with verified token to porn site.
Porn site only knows your login and the fact you are an adult.
Intermediary knows someone needed to validate their age.
State knows this random no porn site wanted to check some claims about you.
