I hope they get sued into oblivion for this. Maybe there's something in the terms and conditions but I don't see how this would apply to people who can't give consent like children and guests.

It's almost certainly in the legalese they used in the EULA everyone that uses them agreed to. What it won't be, is clear that this was the intention.
