I feel like the act has something to do with the FTC, but I can't recall if it's about sexually explicit content or just spam. Maybe option C?

Wait, I'm a little confused. Doesn't 5G also bring some challenges with the massive increase in data volume? I seem to recall something about IT platforms potentially struggling to handle all that data. I'll have to double-check that.
