"While giants like Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple and Microsoft fit the criteria, smaller platform providers like Airbnb, Booking.com and Alibaba could also be included." That seems entirely reasonable to me? At least AirBnB and Booking.com are large enough to get away with dark patterns and being evil, so surely we want to give them the Facebook treatment, too. I sincerely hope this will pass. Yes, it might screw with every "platform" that has 45k+ users. But I'm not sure I see that as a bad thing. An email hosting service with "only" 20k mailboxes is still a nice company and can be run profitably. And we consumers would have so much more choice that way. And technically, Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp could just support XMPP and then they're legally in the clear while still supporting E2E encryption.
