I'm glad the EU is attempting to gate keep this filth but its never going to work. The kids will bypass this of course, they aren't stupid. The EU would also have to ban all kinds of VPNs, AI generation and file sharing to achieve this goal.

Regulation doesn't always have to produce absolute prevention, even strong deterrence can be impactful.

We've seen how excessive porn consumption impacts the development (particularly of boys) so increased regulation is a thoughtful move.

Regulation doesn't always have to produce absolute prevention

Making laws with the intent that they will be broken, has the additional benefit that almost everyone is a criminal, ready to be re-educated.

I've already lived this way in the DDR. I do not recommend to others.

Making laws with the intent they will be broken is different from having an understanding they will be broken.

People break speed limits every day. There is no intent they will be broken but an understanding that it will happen. Overall though, people obey them and roads are safer as a result.
