Good questions and I will assume they are asked in good faith
1) I support the basic structure of OSA - That online providers need to do an audit; that they need to decide if they will host content that needs age controls or not; that they have a legal responsibility to have safety controls to enforce that decision; and that there is some type of age-gating
2) I think that the age gating process is woefully ill-defined and unregulated. Thankfully, it is not centralised.

@thecyberwitch 3) As written, the age gating is ripe for abuse and errors. This is the essential improvement needed (IMO) 4) IMO, hacking is a total red herring. Every bit of technology is at risk of hacking and we've seen many, many hacks of deeply sensitive data. No one says we stop doing things online - rather, we continually improve security and fight to decentralise data (IMO, greater data privacy righs is another essential improvement, and not just in OSA) 2/n
