Buddy, get your head out of the sand. The Internet isn't half as gruesome as it used to be. Do you know how we used to find all the beheading videos? Just search YouTube! Sure, they are still there, somewhere, but definitely no longer popping up in my recommendation feed. Further, nowadays, content creators won't even use the word Sex on that platform for fear of demonization.
And yet why the sudden push to protect the children? You need look no further than Sam Almans "worldcoin" and similar projects for your answer, my guy.
Ah but think of the positives - we can now get back the death videos and all the pushing of sex content if the producers can theoretically rely on age verification.
