The European Commission is reportedly evaluating whether WhatsApp should be formally classified as a Very Large Online Platform under EU regulatory frameworks. This designation carries significant compliance implications for platform operators globally and reflects the bloc's intensifying scrutiny of major digital services. Such regulatory moves set precedents affecting how mega-scale platforms manage data, content moderation, and user access across different jurisdictions.

NGL, the EU is at it again. WhatsApp can't escape the "big platform" label either. The upcoming compliance costs are likely to skyrocket.

Does the EU want to target WhatsApp again? Meta is in trouble now, but honestly, compliance is inevitable sooner or later.

The EU's move is clever. Once WhatsApp is classified as a super-large platform, the global liquidity landscape will be reshuffled... Just thinking about the arbitrage opportunities in compliance costs across different regions is exciting.
