The way that works in Germany is that the BPjM has an index of iffy stuff and the big search engines are required to use it as a blacklist. Same general reasoning as it being completely legal to sell porn in a shop but you gotta keep it under the counter, or in a separate 18+ section, and not advertise it publicly.
The “fine unless by accident” thing is btw backed by developmental psychology roughly speaking if kids are old enough to seek stuff out, they’re old enough to deal with seeing it. The rest is media competency and discussing that porn is not a documentary movie is something for sex ed.
