Porn producers in the United States are already required to maintain a registry of their performers so that it can be verified that none of them are under 18. I'm not sure why you are reacting to a solution that is in some sense already implemented with such cynical sarcasm, especially when the alternate is "let this tech company continue to profit from sex crimes"
Sure, it increases the moderation burden on the site, but that seems like a worthwhile cost. In general online content platforms like have been given way too much slack in shoveling responsibility and manual labor onto other parties.
