You are barking up a tree of oppression.

Making pornography illegal opens up everything being defined as pornographic. And what are the penalties going to be for circumventing these laws? And who will be punished?

Will you punish the teens that are normal and curious about sex?

Will you punish the publishers who can't do enough to block people?

There are PII laws in tons of places. Are megacorps that are capable of PII compliance the only people allowed to make pornography?

Am I going to get arrested if people go on fetlife and share those pictures I took of my asshole?

You don't have good answers to these that don't take away the rights of normal people.
