> "content that encourages use of VPNs to get around age checks"

I think "...to get around age checks" is controlling. It isn't illegal to promote VPN's in that country; it's illegal to promote their usefulness in circumventing other laws.

The law reads like it applies to platforms required to do the checks rather than third party service providers.

Which section of the Online Safety Act 2023 is that in, please?
