I guess I made a leap in assuming that if a site assumed for data collection purposes, that a person was a minor, they'd have trouble justifying showing adult content to that person. Looking back on the article, I see I read something into it that was not there. Ironically, I posted another comment pointing out that a poster had missed something in the article. Guess I better remove the mote from my eye before I post more such comments!

Does this include collecting or displaying their real name? Is that considered PII as it pertains to this law? I ask because if I run a forum it will be difficult to force people to use fake names unless I generate names for them. Some people would be upset if I force them to use a randomly generated name, though some would be happy to be anonymous.
This law doesn't appear to cover content, just what information you are supposed to collect about your users.
