An age restriction, and subsequent age verification mechanism helps to alleviate this on the basis of legality. As it said in the privacy policy, they do not collect data from children. But, without an age verification system, how is administration to determine who is a child, in order to refrain from data collection from those individuals?

If you're as incontrovertibly correct as you put it across, I suggest you take the issue direct to the moderators and administration. For Rant, if the stakes are as dire as this, and we're in the line of fire of the GDPR, COPPA and URACUNT then the fate of the site falls squarely on your shoulders, for having been the solitary intellect to notice such a gaping flaw in the site's fundamental structure. Go now, and act quickly, the site needs you
