EU Designates ChatGPT, Reddit, Roblox as Very Large Platforms Under Digital Services Act
The European Commission has designated ChatGPT as a Very Large Online Search Engine and Reddit and Roblox as Very Large Online Platforms under the EU's Digital Services Act (DSA), due to each having over 45 million monthly users in the bloc. This classification subjects them to stricter rules requiring risk assessments, mitigation of illegal content, protection of minors, and safeguarding fundamental rights, electoral processes, and public security. The platforms have four months to comply with these obligations, including transparency measures and independent audits.
