Whilst I agree, it's a sad fact that this is unlikely to work. There will certainly be no harm in trying to educate users but, by fault or design, some would continue posting inappropriate text, images, videos etc regardless.

I understand what you're saying.
With regards to the UK I asked Ofcom if sites were to move abroad and/or use a VPN to circumvent tje new legislation, what would happen then as this would make a mockery of the new requirements.
It seems that they wouldn't go down the proscribing route, instead services that allow any offending website to exist would be dealt with instead, such as site hosting providers, advertisers etc.
If it were not possible to kill a weed, depriving it of light & water would be just as effective.
