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.

    Yes and the EU obviously has consequences as well.

    What are those consequences? 1 fine?

    The US states are using CIVIL law, meaning every single parent in the state could take them to court. This could bankrupt these companies in no time. This decision was probably made by an accountant.

    which shall "in no case exceed* 6% of the total worldwide annual turnover of the provider.

    Maybe I read it wrong, and I don't care.

    You asked why they turned it off in some states in the US and not the EU, I have my opinion, you seem to disagree, and that's ok.
