I would think adblock lists are a pretty good example of similar efforts (that is, people classifying large amounts of random sites), so I don't think that would be impossible.
Such things don't need to be perfect, either - just good enough.
(I don't agree with age verification efforts or even parental control software; just pointing out it's not impossible)

I think we disagree about how "good" this effort will be given that it's a supremely subjective task. Your porn is my sexual education and wellness material... And if it's going to be down to individual parents to make the most appropriate choice for their kids, this whole thing is just regular parenting but with extra steps.
- squigz 2y ago> Ok, what bucket(s) does reddit fall into? Well probably various. What is your point? > it's a supremely subjective task Yes, but this is beside my point. It can be good enough to meet people's subjective needs. All I meant was, solutions like this don't need to perfectly categorize every single site on the Internet to be good enough to be useful, for those who think such things are useful.
