I think this underestimates the tech savvyness of teenagers when it comes to circumvent such measures. Or maybe i am mistaken because when i was in that age range it was common to know more about computers than the parents.
Kids can't use computers, and that's not good for the world. If teenagers figure out enough about how the computer works to get around the parental controls and watch porn, I consider that a net win.
I don't actually care if teenagers sophisticated enough to do that see porn.

you can have your Pi and break it too!
Banning teenagers from porn is not a fight worth anything.
It is kids we should be worried about. 8 year olds who get in contact with hard core porn or fetish porn or violent porn. That is not good for their development.
I agree, and I think my solution in combination with some filter lists addresses that problem pretty well. Very few eight year olds will have the ability or desire to bypass restrictions like that to look at porn.
Kids today are not tech savvy. UIs are streamlined and bugs are much less common in popular apps so they have to do less self directee troubleshooting to learn from.
