If this is about porn or other content deemed age-sensitive, the moment it becomes difficult to source through "official," mainstream platforms, the content will move underground (P2P networks), making it even more difficult to analyze and regulate. So this is a very shortsighted move.
To be fair, this is sort of pitting two policy objectives against each other, preventing children from accessing pornography meant for adults on one hand and preventing the distribution of pornography illegal in all cases (e.g. revenge porn, CSAM) on the other. Reasonable people can disagree on which is more important and which should take priority (though I would agree that the latter should take priority)
