* you add an HTTP header saying "I am a kid" * porn web servers read and handle this headers * if they don't (easy to test), they get fined

It is easy to implement, easy to monitor, and will probably just work if the government do the effort to monitor and enforce it. If not, it will just be an other DNT header

What stops a kid from saying "I am an adult" via this header without some draconian client-side enforcement?

You add draconian client-side enforcement via parent controls. You can even mandate that stores ask for whom the device will be and provision it accordingly with the flag being automatically removed in the future when the person is of age.

Exactly. I'd even go one step further: If it takes access to Pr0n for kids to become really sophisticated in tech, how is this not a win too?
