Of course, my POV is very suspicious of the intentions of such initiatives and their goals in the 1st place.

I am not a legal expert but both 1798.501 a and b seem to use the same language to me. I don't find b4 as incompatible with requiring a request to be made.As for the penalties are they not set out at 1798.503 a? There it says "a person that violates" while on b which is good faith exceptions clearly spells out OS and app stores' providers.
I suppose it could also be a clarification not a contradiction.
It's good that there could be a mechanism to protect Foss developers.

I don't see a requirement for the app to actually show age-inappropriate content to a minor. Even a completely kid-friendly app would violate the law.
