The way I see it is a further subcontracting of parenting. It is also reflects the people don't take responsibility for themselves or their offspring. They are poorly informed too, even in this very technological world.
I'm from this technical field, so I know it won't work.
The heuristics won't even be good enough so innocent businesses, and individuals will get blocked, who have nothing to do with pornography.
Anything seriously illegal is on P2P, and they won't be able to stop that.
One thing I will say is, there is an assumption that young children need a phone with an internet connection, etc. This couldn't be further from the truth. They don't need these thing, and they don't need to be on social media, etc. In fact adult don't need to be on social media.
A little bit of bottle, goes a long way. Last time I checked it isn't these young children that are paying the bills.
Not necessarily P2P, but other areas of the 'dark web' (that never touch Google) are there too.
And as for the rest of your post - I agree.
A paedophile could easily get their rocks off simply through searching for photos on photo sharing sites or YouTube if they wish. They don't need to go and look for proper child pornography.
Frankly, this is all farcical. I was reading an article on this some time back (about Google and all the crap they have to remove from YouTube) and they're working their guts out at this and have full control of the situation from their end.
