Doesn’t seem like a real requirement if Pornhub and similar sites can get away with their “only click if you’re 18”-banners just the same. Making a distinction between sites hosted inside Germany and outside Germany doesn’t seem like smart lawmaking to me.
It’s also “sites directed at a German audience”, but using that as a justification for DNS bans is rare. I guess practically more relevant is that German google isn’t serving up those international sites.
German law doesn’t require 100% security when it comes to youth protection stuff, not only would that be impossible but it’s also not the intent, because once kids are old enough to actively seek something out, they’re by and large old enough to consume it. What youth protection really cares about is not having kids just stumble over things they have no reference frame for.
