That protocol is simplified to the point where it makes no sense and thus we cannot really evaluate its security, but yeah, I was glad to see that you do get around to semi-acknowledging that a scheme like that would need to rely on some kind of service like Tor to begin to provide any semblance of privacy. Even then the central authority would have a record of it every time each of us hit an age gate, which is valuable metadata to be giving away whether or not it's probably just pornography.
Lots of people seem eager to claim that it can feasibly be done in a privacy-safe way but I still have yet to be convinced of it.
And it's all just to set up a new system of oppression with the other problems you mention. It seems utterly ridiculous.
