If only parents could start parenting, but we know by now this has nothing to do with the children.
Jokes aside, teenagers can be smart at evading censorship. Should a democratic society play a cat and mouse game with a more motivated and more nimble adversary, who will often be smarter too?
Are they not aware that it's something they would have to force on everyone's device? GDPR cookie banners are a good example of poorly executed government meddling, the Online Safety Bill could yet be even more annoying, and we're still learning about the lies and ineptitude seen by the Post Office scandal. Why entertain playing a cat and mouse game like that? I don't think we want to see how invasive government computer meddling can be. People coming up with these ideas need to think really carefully about what the actual results could be once they have gone through committee and started bothering their constituents.
Perhaps more importantly, they should remember 16 year olds are going to be able to vote soon.
Ao sad to see how the uk has fallen from a beacon of freedom to… whatever it is nowadays.

I'm thinking of an AI tool that automatically dresses people in porn videos, turning them into 12+ content. The Pro+ plan could even replace the moaning with actual dialogue. That way they can keep watching their favourite movies without needing to verify their age or use a VPN.
The only thing I need for VCs to invest is to put the term "10x" on my website.
"10x fewer moans and 10x more dialogue"

In other words, if they can't watch porn, they'll probably start practicing it. This is good news! Population collapse will stop, economy will grow, housing prices will soar, pension funds will have new contributors in 20 years, etc. etc.
