@openrightsgroup "Will debate"... yes, if you mean 2-3 clowns from each party (only) will do charades in the echoing Commons chamber, and the short straw-drawing UK PLC representative will just reiterate the polite version of "get fucked" (that the petition has already received) and get round-filed.
That's the fate of every petition that dares breach the 100K signature "debate" threshold to date, after all. Representative democracy is a dream we all want, but don't have.

I think your six recommendations are all great. In fact, I'd add one for data privacy and one to legally require transparency/user control over algorithms.
That said, I still think #OSA is a key first step in regulating techbros. So, let's not trash talk OSA - which only helps the techbros.
