That's the bit about this I hate, I do think porn can be dangerous especially for people who aren't emotionally and intellectually ready for it but these systems do the opposite of help.
Teens are curious, letting them sneak a peek at pornhub doesn't have much risk but forcing them to learn how to accesses backroom porng R ** from seedy discord groups or similar puts them in actual genuine danger from preditors and exposes them to far more intense and possibly illegal porn.
In my friends kids school there was a situation with a girl that had an iPhone she'd been sent by some guy on roblox, rumor was she'd 'earned it' when playing at a friend's house with less strict parental supervision. It's already hard to stop teens putting themselves in danger, especially with so many bad people out there preying on them.
