They already do flag themselves and have done for at least 20 years.

Have devices do the blocking for kids by having sites required to identify themselves as adult oriented in a standard way. The bad sites aren’t going to enact the requirements for people to identify themselves any more than they would enact the requirements for sites to identify themselves to devices but it eliminates the tracking of adults and blocking of legitimate content to children with parental permission like sexual education sites.

Is this right? Out of curiosity, how do these sites flag themselves as content for adults?
Obviously, this is the solution. Sites that do this correctly, and software that detects the metadata. Parents are the ones that need to choose the correct software and enable the correct settings.
Sites that do not set the correct metadata are legible to be banned by authorities.

It’s called RTA and it’s a tag that goes in the header of each html page to be restricted.

None of this shit is ever going to stop kids from finding porn (or anything else they’re determined to find). I owe my career in IT to figuring out how to circumvent all the parental control things my parents put on the family pc and cover my tracks. All you can do is supervise them as best you can and teach them about being responsible and what’s real vs imaginary.
