It is a joke about how stupid and pointless pushes to require "age verification" online are. Such efforts have been in the news a lot recently.

Probably because a few articles contain curse words (which corporate filters may hiccup on).
The website has been made by AI. May be it has learned from its training that this kind of confirm box is cheeky humor for humans?
