In short, the problem with the Online Safety Act is that it is realistically unworkable for the average admin.

The problem with the regulations and this recommendation on your site is that the categories of prohibited content is extremely vague and could be selectively enforced based on the whims of the regulators.

For example, as a US citizen would the following statement be banned on UK systems?

"As a citizen of the USA I recommend everyone in the UK take to the streets and yell at their PM to allow speech about using picket knives for harvesting medical marijuana used for epilepsy treatment; medical treatment that should be available to all epilepsy patients."

That statement could fall under Foreign Interference, harassment, knives, and drugs, malinformation / misinformation.

Is my statement harmful to children through 16 year olds?
