That is required by federal law. Same reason you have to attest to being over 18 on porn sites.

You're welcome to post said law but there a thousands of websites on the world wide web that host explicit images that don't require you to attest to being 18. This website is hosting censored cartoon images that weren't explicit in the first place.
School boards have kicked parents out for reading these books as they are too explicit for that forum: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/florida-school-board-remove...
There are dozens of laws, cases, court decisions, etc.: https://mtsu.edu/first-amendment/article/966/harmful-to-mino...
