It would seem simpler to block free porn - and require a minimum spend of €5/month, and that the company is VAT registered.

Restrict credit cards to those 18+ (they typically are already).

This gives companies a commercial incentive to enforce the laws. Any websites which do not cooperate can be DNS blocked.

I wish good luck for a government that gives people full of testosterone in their houses giving a reason to go outside.

This might also benefit GDP (not just crime statistics).
