I don't think it's actually possible for parents to stop kids from seeing porn if the kids want to do so (without home-schooling them in the wilderness). Even a very attentive and tech-savvy parent can't stop their kid from looking at porn on a friend's smartphone. Laws won't help unless they're as restrictive as China's.

I was mainly talking about neglectful parents, but it's still possible to make an effort. Some don't even try, though :/

I think there should be some bare minimum standard, both for teaching adults/children internet safety, and safeguards on porn/gore sites.
