Obviously, the main problem with this is that it makes running any user-to-user service an offence until it is licensed. Two years in prison for running a mastodon instance (anywhere in the world!), you hardened criminals.

The duties it seeks to impose on social media platforms overlap to a huge extent with what already applies, with masses of guidance, to user-to-user services under the already-very-broad Online Safety Act. Although it does apparently also seek to ensure that no social media user can ever be anonymous.
