EU designates ChatGPT, Reddit, Roblox under its strict digital rules

The European Union has classified ChatGPT, Reddit, and Roblox as 'very large' online platforms under its stringent Digital Services Act (DSA), requiring them to undergo increased scrutiny and compliance measures. This designation applies to platforms with over 45 million monthly active users in the EU, which all three services reportedly exceed. The decision marks the first time an AI chatbot has been categorized this way, and it comes amid the EU's broader efforts to regulate big tech companies. Under the DSA, these platforms must assess and mitigate risks such as illegal content distribution, impacts on minors, user well-being, and public security. They have four months to comply with new obligations, including transparency and safety standards. The EU's actions reflect its growing regulatory focus on digital giants, particularly American-based companies, despite potential U.S. opposition.
