#2Studies show that half of 11 to 13-year-olds have seen pornography at some point.
What's missing from that stat is where they saw porn. Reddit, Twitter, Instagram, Imgur, etc are full of porn but aren't technically porn sites. If that's where kids are accessing porn then blocking porn sites will not fix the problem.
Unless you understand what the problem actually is there will be no way to fix it.

#3This had already been proposed years ago and postponed.
The obvious result isn't that people will do the identification thing: instead people will use a VPN. It seems pretty clear to me.

Oh that's easy. The problem is with society. No one is in any way damaged or traumatized cause they saw some sex on a screen at approximately 13 years old. Its ridiculous we go through the intrusive charade of trying to stop them. The problem is there is no problem.

#5I think based on the number of times they have tried to legislate for this, most recently in 2019, I would put the odds of it happening (even in a hamstrung way) at less than 10%.

Usually when politicians ressurect "think of the children" initiatives they want to distract attention from something. What's the current UK scandal, besides the obvious ongoing BRExit consequences?

This is extremely dismissive of the issue, which does exist to some extent, even if its often over blown.
The problem isn't "13 year olds being traumatized because they see sex on a screen" but "13 year olds developing porn addiction alongside their burgeoning sexuality".
Porn addiction is a very real issue and todays youth is especially susceptible to it. Today a 13 y/o boy can see more breasts in an hour than every one of his prior-digital age male ancestors have seen combined. Its an absolute stimulus overload.

#9Let's assume porn websites implement this as required (fat chance). You'd be daft to enter your CC that associates you by name, home address, phone number and purchases to the porn videos that you'd look at. Who comes up with this stuff?
Zeroknowledge proof based age verification service when?

When I was a child, I once read a novel that featured a rape scene. While I had no idea what rape was, it was described in enough detail to be horrifying to read, so much so that I still remember it now. If it'd been a video, it'd probably have been much worse.
Now I don't think that book should've been locked away in a section of the library inaccessible to children, but that doesn't mean it's absolutely safe for children to consume content intended for adults.
