The European Commission has taken a significant step in regulating the online presence of major platforms, designating ChatGPT, Reddit, and Roblox as 'very large online platforms' under the EU Digital Services Act. This designation means the three services will face tougher rules, including the removal of illegal content and the protection of minors' privacy and security.
The decision comes after all three services surpassed 45 million monthly users in the EU, the threshold for enhanced scrutiny under the DSA. ChatGPT, Reddit, and Roblox will now have to comply with additional obligations, such as providing more transparency about their recommendation algorithms and restricting targeted ads to minors.
Henna Virkkunen, the EU's tech chief, stated that the new designations mean ChatGPT, Reddit, and Roblox will be held to a higher standard of scrutiny and accountability in the European Union, in line with their large impact on citizens and society. The three platforms have until the end of December 2026 to comply with the rules.
The move marks a further expansion of the DSA into generative AI, with X's AI chatbot Grok already facing an investigation under the law. The EU's efforts to regulate online platforms and services aim to mitigate risks related to user mental health, the spread of illegal content, and the impact on minors.
