💨 Abstract
A petition with nearly 404,000 signatures calls for the repeal of the Online Safety Act, which requires pornography sites to implement age verification measures using scans like passports. Critics argue the law is too broad and restrictive, potentially affecting non-pornographic sites and exposing users to risks like data breaches. Supporters say the law helps protect children, but opponents worry it could drive users to less secure websites and infringe on privacy.
