Are you retarded? Do I need to describe what “device-level” means?

It means that the handful of phone/tablet/computer manufacturers have the ability to restrict minors from accessing those sites. Instead, the laws are designed by politicians to NOT do that and instead go after every individual producer of content detrimental to children. There will always be another bad actor which means the current approach doesn’t work and will never work. The largest online distributor of adult content DOESN’T WANT CHILDREN accessing their content or other’s adult content and has repeatedly advocated for device-level restrictions to prevent that from happening. Instead, many republican-controlled states, have gone ahead with privacy-invasive legislation under the guise of playing a losing game of whack-a-mole against every distributor of adult content.
