It's right there in your post.

>they will only be expected to have basic but important measures to remove illegal content when they become aware of it. These include:

>easy-to-find, understandable terms and conditions; a complaints tool that allows users to report illegal or harmful material when they see it, backed up by a process to deal with those complaints; the ability to review content and take it down quickly if they have reason to believe it is illegal; and a specific individual responsible for compliance, who we can contact if we need to.”

All of those things are buttons to click and ship with every piece of forum software from the last decade. No forum can survive without moderation because of spam so these tools and policies will already be in place on every website with user generated content.

  • Some forum use custom backend, and updating them for an asinine law may not be the maintainer priority.

    Having someone dedicated to contact with this authority is also a burden on hobbyist projects.
