So he government may or may not exempt smaller social media services based on the lobying they make because such exeptions are at discretion of minister.If you make a law, specify in writing the threshold for what sorvices ot covers. If you are not willing to specify it, then don,t pass the law.
And how do you calculate number of users in the fediverse, or in NNTP newsgroups?

Exclusion — online service
(8) The definition online service does not include a website or application 5

If Maps had to be exlcuded, it means the definition of what is included is *deeply* flawed
