Follow the money and the people forcing it, you will see what the OSA is truly about, and it's got absolutely nothing to do with protecting children and all about control over every aspect of our lives, and this is not conspiracy before any thinks that, this is well known already that some of the companies involved, are making billions, wanting more cameras, trackers and data collection systems in place, as well as global restrictions to stop countries residents being able to communicate freely and easily.
Interestingly, in 1675 King Charles II tried to outlaw coffee shops as he feared that people may plot to overthrow him and thought that political dissent and sedition would occur due to the spreading of "evil and dangerous effects" and defamatory rumours against him.

In the end he had to back down after protests, but it goes to show that it's nothing new that the ruling class fear free & open discussion by the great unwashed.
