If there's independent studies great, especially world wide (the US can be a bit insular), but as someone in the UK I dont see anything but disdain for ID checking age-gating.
Even other political parties are saying they'll roll it back if they get in power, which if they're betting the farm on that policy, must have considerable public influence.
Kids could always get jazz mags from friends, find VHS tapes, be told stories, see topless women etc.
The difference here is that it's easier, but that's partly caused by indifference and technical illiteracy.
If it was a serious enough problem to warrant government intervention the larger public would be championing this cause.
They aren't.
That's not even withstanding that soft porn is often just people showing their bodies, which should never be a problem.
They're there for the money as nobody else would listen to this kind of thing day in day out for free.
Your money stops - poof your therapist vanishes, not even a personal follow up call asking if you're ok, and I know this to be true from secondhand experience.
You can't heap your problems on friends either or one day you'll find they'll give up speaking to you.
So what options do you have left? A person who takes money from you to listen to you, friends you may lose, or you speak with an AI, but at least you know the AI doesn't feel for you by design.
No, they're the medium of the web.

- SOAP - interop needs support of DOC or RPC based between systems, or a combination, XML and schemas are also horribly verbose.
- CORBA - libraries and framework were complex, modern languages at the time avoided them in deference to simpler standards (e.g. Java's Jini)
- GPRC - designed for speed, not readability, requires mappings.
It's telling that these days REST and JSON (via req/resp, webhooks, or even streaming) are the modern backbone of RPC. The above standards either are shoved aside or for GPRC only used where extreme throughput is needed.
Since REST and JSON are the plat du jour, MCP probably aligns with that design paradigm rather than the dated legacy protocols.
