Whether a 7-year-old sees adult content accidentally, intentionally, because of peer pressure or any other reason, I still think age appropriate sex ed would be helpful. I acknowledge that minors do view inappropriate content and that it is generally unhealthy, but since it can happen, and does happen, a good approach would be to educate them preemptively.

For example, these guildelines for sex ed in EU, which caused some outrage in conservative circles a few years back, suggest that "sex in media and dealing with it" is a topic for 6 to 9-year-olds.

Of course you can't cover every outlier, but can you really stop 5th graders from sending weird shit to their friends because they're trying to be edgy?

Edit:

Another way to think about it:

  • Was the content accessed accidentally? If so, I would argue this law misses the point and better moderation would be more effective and also less, y'know, surveillance state adjacent
  • Was the content accessed intentionally? In this case, sex ed would probably help
