This would be rather useless; it would stop porn sites from charging customers for access in Canada, and from hosting in Canada, without maintaining an age registry.
So in reality, it would require legit sites that serve R content (think NetFlix and Prime Video) to do what they already kinda sorta do, and wouldn’t impact many other services at all.
