I'm no IT expert but I know this much. There is the internet and the dark web...which to me means there can be a under 21 internet and over 21 internet...there could also be for instance, specific Christian internet (which has zero LGBT+++++ on it because this content is against the religious beliefs). This one size fits all internet is the problem. Free speech on each one, but we don't have to endure what we consider toxic to ourselves or our children just to get to the info and entertainment we want. If we solved the issue with separate internets, as in buying magazine that present only the type of content your subscribed to see, then we have more of a structure that supports our life and interests. Maybe this separation is already available by settings on the internet, but because kids can get to the massive amount of sick porn they now can, it's clearly not working.
Online gambling has solved the age verification challenge. Apply the same solution to porn. Stem the dehumanizing deluge of degeneracy we force teenagers to swim through.
Back in the day when PORN was illegal, you did not have the slew of pervert and criminal sex against children that has exploded since smut and evil were granted 1st Amendment protections. If I remember correctly, there had been studies done showing the societal and mental harm it caused over prolonged viewing. I think the sickness in our society can be tracked back to the proliferation of porn and it was also considered addictive behavior. What used to happen in the dark and the dark web has invaded every aspect of our daily lives and the acceptance of much of its attendant perversions and criminal acts thru this incremental exposure over the years has most definitely caused untold harm to our society at large, the biggest victims being women and children. This is more in line with being a health issue of extreme harm to society than it is a 1st amendment issue. Don't buy into this false narrative that it is about "muh speech".
