> governments mandate that ... Websites/apps/etc. MAY label content (via headers) indicating when their content/service is/isn't appropriate

Which government? This list of pornographic film studios indicates they reside in many countries.

Past that, the USA alone has thousands of governments. Many have opinions.

Unfortunately the UK has demonstrated that it’s quite possible to go after a lot of adult material even beyond our borders.

I completely agree. I'm not saying that all websites containing nudity must contain a "nudity" label as defined by some specific country, I'm saying:

1. Governments MAY define labels like "gov.texas.bill1234-compliant".

2. Websites MUST NOT apply this label to their content unless the content actually complies with Texas' bill1234.

Websites may ALSO proactively label their content with advisory labels like "advisory.may-contain-nudity", but those would have no legal meaning.

What do we think a Latvian porn host is likely to do in response to that?
