This should be specifically targeted at large internet platforms and service providers (like ISPs). Some sort of cutoff can be found based on revenue, there are plenty of other regulations which only target companies above a certain size.

Conversely, there's even more regulations and more importantly, rights, that apply to every company. One of those is freedom of speech, i.e., the ability to not be forced to publish on a private platform the views of everyone.
