Telegram had 41 million EU users in the six months to February, the company said on its website, below the DSA’s 45 million threshold which would see it labelled as a very large online platform (VLOP) required to comply with stricter obligations.
“We are in touch with Telegram,” a Commission spokesman said, adding that the EU executive is monitoring developments and liaising with digital service coordinators.
Alphabet’s Google, Amazon, Apple, Meta Platforms, Microsoft, AliExpress, Snap, Pinterest, ByteDance’s TikTok, Zalando and three porn websites are among 18 online platforms already designated as VLOPs.
