The parents can block traffic (buy software or routers) with ease. Some might say, "well they'll just get around it." So? The parent can make their moral stance clear. They might even say, "I look at porn sometimes too, but I feel guilty because I know it's wrong," if they want to be honest. That can instill the value, even if society can't really stop proliferation. The kid knows why their parents believe whatever and can choose to act on it or ignore it. If the parent doesn't care .. then whatever. The kid can hold that value, or go all trad and reject it for themselves. Maybe it doesn't matter and the kid grows up fine? Maybe the grow up to live in a goon cave? Who knows? That's why the age verification stuff is so BS. It's a backdoor to individual digital identities, under the guise of the anti-porns wanting to mandate their ideology on all the "don't cares" because "Reee! No, people are hurting their kids if they don't block their access; so we should block everyone's!"
