Pretty clear First Amendment compelled-speech case. The government may not compel a speaker to say a bunch of false things (the supposed "warnings" are lies; and arguably even defamatory ones) as a condition of being permitted to speak.
The 2018 NIFLA v. Becerra is the most recent Supreme Court case on compelled speech, and it does not look favorable to this sort of thing.
I doubt that. Cigarette companies have to include warning labels as per the courts and there’s a mountain of evidence that porn can be harmful to people.
Damn, people should stop having sex at all. Don't let people view media that shows examples of sex
Tell them to ban action movies too. Go full Amish
