i completely agree in the case of drug possession, but i think the internet is unique in that it is a worldwide system and it is impossible to meaningfully regulate or ban things at a nationwide level. making drugs "more difficult" for me to access has already happened; i would have no idea where to look for them. For me to find pretty much anything on the internet is trivial, no matter how obscure, how banned, how illegal, and how universally illegal it is. Just look at how easy it is to find pirated movies or (in Germany) anything offically illegal in Germany such as Nazi memorabilia on the Internet. There is also the streisand effect and the fact that the predictable response to universal illegality of porn is everyone simply spamming porn on any site where you might be able to upload content to make it impossible to hide all porn. It is genuinely impossible to ban things on the internet without basically becoming china, in a way that is not true of physical items.
