Despite stating in their Terms of Services that their services are for adults only, all four platforms allow minors to access their platforms by a simple click confirming they are over 18.

That's weird, I wonder why they did that? They've blocked traffic entirely from age-gated states. But in the EU they're taking a stand of some sort?

Most of the age-gated states have introduced legislation that permits parents to sue the porn sites, usually the tune of 10,000 per instance.
