Are you talking about downloading reddit, which is infested with the weirdest pornography that exists ?
While I am very much against facial scanning etc, it is quite clear that something needs to be done about the access of porn to kids. It is a drug like any other that we do not allow kids to consume.
So what is your plan on dealing with wikipedia? I accessed porn in 2011 when I was 11. I played Postal 2 when I was 10. But no English skills at that age means not much came out of that game at that time except cat silencers.
How many kids these days play 18+ rated games?

Im not sure I understand. Are you saying wikipedia has porn?
Yes. It even has articles dedicated to specific sex positions. I definitely looked at those articles fairly often as a young teen.
But should I need to upload an ID to view that? I guess some people think North Korea has the right mindset with information control, so showing an ID to see who's seeing what makes sense. But I'm not of that mindset.
Yes. Not necessarily on any pages. Go to the commons and search with some obvious keywords.
Do a few nude photographs on wikipedia hold the same addiction potential as an infinite stream of short form HD videos - specifically optimized for attention capture - on platforms like reddit ?
I am not even sure whether I should take you seriously.
> a few nude photographs on wikipedia
It’s a wee bit more extensive than that. Videos, more than a few, and most of them not tied to a wiki page.
As someone who tried to run a clean BBS and later a web forum, I’ll never be surprised at the lengths people will go to share porn.
It is still incomparable for all intents and purposes to platforms like reddit etc.
Of course people go to great lengths to share porn. But we should also go to great lengths to protect kids (and adults) from incredibly addictive things like hard drugs, porn, gambling, lootboxes etc.
I dont know why porn companies arent just sued into oblivion. There are already laws against distributing porn to minors in most places and porn companies do it routinely without any controls.
