I am not on Twatter or Reddit, but if it is already out there, I am really not sure what they try to reach with this law.
"symbol politics" perhaps as we call it in Dutchland, meant to look like you are doing something productive, but it is just made to look good, rather than address the actual issue.
Which is...I guess underage people watching sexual explicit material but clearly...
JWestland-
Yeah same word in German, 'Symbolpolitik' - from my personal observations, that's the case with a majority of all of the 'big' pieces of legislation that deal with kids. "Think of the children" in general is a great way of trying to either take away attention from something else, or justify legislation that is otherwise unpopular.

I just did a quick google and found this. So...
So, as a random example, wouldn't a website like Twitter be exempt? Even Reddit, chock-full of porn as it is, will probably have <1/3 of content be 'adult' material, right? (Btw, not sure how they'll be measuring this, but hey)
On both sites, hardcore pornography is easily accessible, you don't even need an account. And that's just two HUGE websites, I'm sure there's a decent amount of porn on other nominally non-porn websites I don't know of.
Basically what I'm saying is: you don't even need a proxy or go onto piratebay, there's loads of stuff freely accessible out there and you can bet even non-tech-savvy horny teenagers will find it.
