Because it was meant as a “soft ban”. First you make it troublesome to access porn, but also blame the providers if kids are circumventing it in any shape or form (no section 230-esque protections). This, alongside with payment processors, act as a chokehold on the industry, and also on the LGBTQIA+ community as a whole if you can read between the lines. The long game is to make it unpopular enough in a few years, that it can be easily outlawed.

I mean, schools (k-12) pretty easily blacklist websites you can access, not sure why parents can’t just do that if they want as well.

The amount of parental controls available now really give parents little to no room for excuses.

Parents can, and the only thing the government should be doing here is teaching parents how.
