The Online Safety Act 2023 (Category 1, Category 2A and Category 2B Threshold Conditions) Regulations 2025
Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.
Change 1
4 Category 2A threshold conditions
The Category 2A threshold conditions are met by a search engine of a regulated search service or a combined service where it— (a) has an average number of monthly active United Kingdom users that exceeds 7 million, and (b) is not a search engine which— (i) only enables a user to search selected websites or databases in relation to a specific topic, theme or genre of search content, and (ii) is facilitated by means of an arrangement between the provider of a regulated search service or combined service with one or more entities, which relies on an application programming interface or other technical means to present search results to users.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
