> What is a large online platform?

The text actually says "very large online platform" which is defined in 33(1):

> This Section shall apply to online platforms and online search engines which have a number of average monthly active recipients of the service in the Union equal to or higher than 45 million, and which are designated as very large online platforms or very large online search engines pursuant to paragraph 4.

Paragraph 4 just reiterates that. Paragraph 3 gives scope for adjustment:

> In such a case, it shall adjust the number so that it corresponds to 10 % of the Union’s population in the year in which it adopts the delegated act, rounded up or down to allow the number to be expressed in millions.

Basically "very large" -> 10% of the EU population. I'm not a lawyer, though; there may well be specific legal shenanigans going on but at first blush, it doesn't look like it.
