If Wikia does not restrict underage users, and the underage or Wikia gets into a court claim -- whether it be directly or indirectly -- Wikia could be in some serious trouble for breaking COPPA laws. No one has to report underage users (as you said). Wikia has to actively seek to prevent underage editors (TOU age requirement, disabling IP editing on wikis directed to a younger audience, etc) and take action (disabling accounts) when they become aware they are holding info from an underage user. If they are doing this, they are fine even though many users are lying about their age. At that point it's not Wikia's fault.
