It is an absolute fallacy that the internet made it easier for teens to get porn. When I was growing up in the 1970s every male and half the females I knew had a list of which stores within walking distance would give a wink and a nod at the requirement of ID to buy porn. What the internet did was move the porn off the shelf in every gas station and convenience store and on-online.

Heck by the mid-1980s half of the convenience stores had a video rental store that included at least half porn vids.

The stupid part of trying to kill the porn industry is if the government succeeds in driving it underground all they will discover is how much money in taxes they take in from the industry.

Even during the most repressive parts of history, there was always porn and sex work, this is part of civilization. The only way we would do away with porn and any forms of sex work is if somehow humans stop being interested in sex at all. Guess what happens in that case? The human race — or at least the part not interested in sex anymore, dies.

Oh well, here we go again. More attempts to regulate the unregulatable. More attempts to legislate morality. More attempts to force the entire world to conform to a small groups view of reality. Since that has worked so well in the past, let’s try that again…
