I personally think this will go beyond online services. It'll likely extend to "oh if you want to sell a phone in the EU then it must have backdoor client side scanning". "oh of you want to be a telecommunications company providing services in EU they you must enforce call recording and SMS scanning". "Oh btw if you want to sell cars in EU then spread those buyers' assholes wide because you know well be stuffing a camera in that as well".
Yes. Fuck the platforms/services. Least concern. I have no doubt they'll be milking this law until we're all thanking Ursula for letting us, the feeble minded plebs, lick her goddess-boots.

Yes, if it leads into coercive regulations (as that is what that would be).
Then yeah, screw it, and I can see how they would push for that with the exact same:
"It's for the kids" / "It's to stop anti-semitism" / "arab terrorism"
Ursula really is a peace of work.
She reminds me of an "old guard" Afrikaaner, who worked in the state, who would have loved to rattle the peasants a little bit more. I say this based on her "oudoos" (old "doofus" generous translation)) haircut.
Granny vibes. And hey grannies are cool, but not evil grannies or control freak grannies.
