If it relies on SIM cards that means it doesn’t work at all with regular computers or when the device connects over WiFi, right? Seems kinda useless.
Of course, all age verification checks on the Internet are useless regardless but this Japanese method seems extra useless.

It’s carrier level. Your isp could do the same with off the shelf decryption appliances. Basically you decrypt the traffic and block traffic that isn’t decrypted.

Yes, but controls on local WiFi networks does nothing if they use a SIM to bypass it. So both are needed. And then that doesn’t take into account public networks, so controls are needed there. It’s a layered approach.
