And you can - all you have to do is prove that you are old enough to view the sites in question - usually by giving them Credit Card details where they then authorise £1 and then refund it (IIRC)

Just as you have to prove you are old enough to drink, smoke, buy knives, drive, get married and many many other things

The restricted sites list is a switch. It is either on or off. It isn't tracked.

Restricting access reduces numbers accessing a website and less popular websites end up on page 97 or thereabouts of a search engines listings and whose to say isps wont stop search engines spiders accessing those websites in future?
I thought ranking pages purely on hits went out the window with search engines years ago!
