one of the points made by Brad Justus in the original WorldLUG discussion was
that kid-oriented information is mired in a morass of legal difficulties
particularly in Europe. There are laws about what you can show them, what you
can ask them, what you can collect from them, cookies, etc.
Please, please, be sure that you are familiar with these issues or you run
serious legal risks.

To my understanding the laws that has to be obeyed are the ones in which the
server stands.

I have a somewhat different view of things. I would
rather block access to my server from the USA than having
to be responsible for its content according to laws in the
USA.

Only sensible rules. And they are basically the same for
children and grownups.

I am reasonably familiar with European privacy regulations.
And I do not find them problematic or difficult to comply
with.
The only real trouble is for organisations with servers
located both inside and outside the EU. They are in general
_not_ allowed to transfer any user data from the servers
inside the EU to servers outside the EU (there are
exceptions to this rule though).
And don't worry. We will do our best to follow all the
regulations of the country hosting the site, once we get
that far.
Play well,
Jacob
