Not the same. I’m suggesting the site is required to transmit a category or rating and then end user devices have the option of filtering.

The word “option” is a key difference. I don’t think we should be forcing everyone to go through these age checks or thinking we can actual ban under-16s or other age groups from sites. There’s no way to do this without forcing everyone through an ID process, which is where a lot of these laws are heading.

Make it a parental controls thing and spread information about how parental controls work.

But sites don't have categories, they almost all have mixed content. Twitter is social media, but is it also a porn site? Well that depends which account you're viewing. And whether your feed is a porn site can vary every single time you view it.
Then tag each <section>, rather than each site. To make auditing easier, don't have websites as large as Twitter.
If your proposal is to make twitter illegal to protect the children, you're as bad as everyone else who is saying to do dumb things to protect the children
