The European Commission on Monday said ChatGPT, Reddit and Roblox will need to adhere to the EU regulations for very large online platforms and search engines.
● The services have declared that they reach at least 45 million monthly users in the EU.
● This qualifies them for the "very large" designation under the bloc's Digital Services Act, the Commission said.
● ChatGPT, Reddit and Roblox have four months to comply with additional obligations following their designation.
● This includes assessing and mitigating risks of illegal content being disseminated through their platforms.
● They also need to mitigate the negative effects on minors, and on the physical and mental wellbeing of users.
● Very large platforms and search engines also need to limit risks for fundamental rights, electoral processes and public security.
● The Commission can supervise compliance with the DSA and will get investigative powers to assess functionalities behind the services.
● AI-system ChatGPT qualifies as an online search engine under the DSA.
● Gaming platform Roblox and discussion-based platform Reddit qualify as online platforms, as they enable users to disseminate third-party content to the public.
