It's always fascinating when people put "tor hidden service" in a sentence that describes something that will reach millions.

I also don't think you'll find many ISPs terribly keen to fight for the neutral treatment of TOR connections when the reason for this fight is explicitly to serve porn to minors.

In Europe it’s very frequently perfectly legal to give alcohol to minors, but not sell.

For example, in the UK it’s only illegal to give alcohol to a child younger than 5 years old.

France has no limitations, giving a toddler wine is not explicitly illegal. Getting a child drunk would be.

That one adult could also just download and serve the content without an age gate. The security system on the original download seems irrelevant.

Sure, the big sites could also serve the content without an age gate, both would just have to have to avoid being found as they would be breaking the law that proscribed the age gate.

That would require all the infrastructure to serve the content, compared to just serving the file ”proving” you are an adult.
