Toast message
First, it's not obvious what pornography is. Usually it's just equated to nudity, but that's extremely reductive. On the other hand, there are tons of pron on youtube, with no nudity, that are way more degenerate than hetero sex.
The second is that this grants justification for government interference. If they have a system requiring ID for websites, they won't waste a second in applying that to private communication services, commerce, and probably just accessing the internet period.
Pron is bad, but it's a cultural issue, not a legal issue, and the government is the last group of pedos I'd let govern it.
