That’s true, but it could be the platforms doing the vetting rather than the government.
I’m frankly not sure if that’s any better. It’s not in the interest of the platforms to do a proper job of it especially if said platforms allow payments through them and get a cut of the sales. So it ends up being the government to enforce it and that opens up another can of worms.
