Why is Big = Bad?
Proton have over 100 million users.
Do we fine Proton AG for a bunch of shitheads abusing their platform and sending malicious email? How do they detect it if its encrypted? Force them to backdoor the encryption?
Proton is not a social medium. As to “how high”, the lawmakers have to decide on that, hopefully after some research and public consultations. It’s not an unprecedented problem.
Another criterion might be revenue. If a company monetises users attention and makes above certain amount, put extra moderation requirements on them.
Proton isn’t social media.
If you can’t understand why big = bad in terms of the dissemination of misinformation, then clearly we’re already at an impass on further discussion of possible numbers and usage of statistics and other variables in determining potential regulations.
