I think it's likely to be helpful to throw some extra barriers in there but the law isn't going to be able to actually stop minors from accessing pornography, hence it's more a political win than anything.

Is that not exactly what the law did?

Sort of. I'm not opposed to this law, but it's not particularly effective since the barriers thrown up are extremely easy to get around.

If you are already looking for that particular website. But it prevents that website from being served up and pushed on people. An 8 year old who googles "naked girls" isn't going to be sent a link to porn hub. That's impactful.

That's not how it works as far as I know.

The 8 year old who searches for naked girls will still get the same links as everyone else. The Pornhub links just will redirect them to a page that says "not available in your state"

Every other website that didn't do what pornhub did will still be available.
