The EU's Digital Services Act (DSA) requires major platforms like ChatGPT, Reddit, and Roblox to comply with stricter safety and accountability rules due to their large user base.

We've designated ChatGPT as a Very Large Online Search Engine, and Reddit and Roblox as Very Large Online Platforms, under the #DSA. They reach at least 45 million average monthly users in the EU and therefore meet the threshold. Now, they have four months to comply with additional obligations, including assessing and mitigating risks related to illegal content, negative effects on minors, users’ mental wellbeing, fundamental rights and public security.
