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.

Today, we designated ChatGPT as a Very Large Online Search Engine and Reddit and Roblox as Very Large Online Platforms under the DSA. These services indicated that they reach at least 45 million average monthly users in the EU and thus meet the threshold for designation. ChatGPT, Reddit and Roblox, will now be held to a higher standard of scrutiny and accountability in the EU, in line with their large impact on our citizens and society. https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_26_1772
