The general obligations set out under the DSA have applied since February, but an additional set of more stringent rules came into force last August, initially impacting 19 separate platforms designated as a VLOP or very large online search engine (VLOSE). This covered products belonging to Alibaba, Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, ByteDance, Meta, Microsoft and Snap, among others. In December, an additional three porn sites were given VLOP status, while Temu’s Chinese retail rival Shein was made a VLOP in April.

They did; it's now reg as VLOP...
