But since part of this controversy is children’s accidental exposure to porn, collecting that information would be useful for that purpose wouldn’t it.

I don’t think I follow. How does collecting that information help reduce kids accessing porn? I just don’t see the link.

Because if someone ticks that box on a site that has such content, it can not be shown to them.
But in this case, I believe the purpose of collecting that data is to ensure that data processing that is legal under the GDPR for adults but not legal for minors is not done to minors’ data.

The vast, vast majority of users of an image embedding site do not have a user account and don’t even visit the site itself.

That’s true but besides the point. The possibility of hotlinking doesn’t obviate this kind of separation of user accounts.
You can embed pornhub videos too, does that mean that, on pornhub they shouldn’t have a basic "are you 18” age gate?
