What features are lacking from vBulletin that prevents being compliant? I suspect some details are missing.

It's not necessarily a technological problem that software has to solve. There's a bunch of processes around reporting and age verification that have to be in place.

  • Ah I see. I guess that's where the current direction of law and I have parted ways. Had they focused on making laws requiring better parental controls support on all devices then server operators could add a single RTA header and be done with it. It's not a perfect technical solution but I believe it delegates the legal liability on the parents where it belongs. Parents could then simply consent for their kids to view whatever they want if they feel they are psychologically ready.
