EU places ChatGPT, Reddit, Roblox under its strictest platform rules

The European Union has classified several major online platforms, including ChatGPT, Reddit, and Roblox, under its strictest digital regulations. These platforms, which have over 45 million users in the EU, are now subject to the Digital Services Act (DSA), which imposes stricter oversight on very large online platforms and search engines. ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI, was previously debated over whether it qualifies as a search engine or a platform. Reddit and Roblox both confirmed their user numbers exceed the threshold, with Roblox expressing pride in being the first gaming platform to reach this milestone. OpenAI stated that ChatGPT functions as a search service under the DSA and is preparing to comply with new requirements.
