Do they also need to stop meeting legal obligations such as age verification for distributing/viewing sexually explicit material?


Legal obligations <> morality police and you know it


This is my point. Are Google being "morality police" here, or are they just meeting some possible legal requirements (IANAL)?

All things being equal, a company would most likely rather do nothing, as that's the cheapest option. The fact they aren't suggests a good motivating reason, and potential legal obligations trump personal moral opinions, which are hard to pin down anyway in a large multinational company.
