Not sure I understand what exactly you are implying but to be clearer.

I do not believe minors (children) do not have the same rights as adults, not even close. That being said banning minors from destructive materials is reasonable as long as it does not infringe on parental rights and the associated activities that are not inherently destructive to children.

Now the issue is, of course, who determines what those behaviors our, unfortunately no one is perfect so many will disagree about where the line is.

All that being said social media, imho, has proven to be at least equally if not more destructive than pron.

As a personal note I know a family (friends) whose 14 yr old committed suicide because of activities over social media. Social media unfettered is inappropriate for children, period!

All your well meaning, and emotional, ideas do is strengthen data gathered on everyone including children.
The idea you can stop children from seeing porn with laws is comical.
Same for social media. How would they validate?
Your children are your responsibility, not the state’s.
How can you still have any trust or faith in government?
Same applies for big tech.

Don’t blame social media for someone’s mental illness
