GoKawiilEU designates ChatGPT, Reddit and Roblox as 'very large' platforms under DSA
The European Commission classified ChatGPT as a Very Large Online Search Engine and Reddit and Roblox as Very Large Online Platforms after each surpassed 45 million average monthly EU users. This designation subjects all three to the Digital Services Act's toughest compliance requirements, joining 28 other services already under this heightened oversight.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The classification forces these companies to submit to independent audits, share data with regulators and researchers, and take stronger action against illegal content and risks to minors and elections. It signals the EU's expanding regulatory reach into AI chatbots and gaming platforms, not just traditional social media, raising compliance costs and legal exposure for OpenAI, Reddit and Roblox in Europe.
- ChatGPT, Reddit and Roblox each exceeded 45 million average monthly EU users, triggering DSA's strictest tier.
- New obligations include independent audits, data sharing with authorities and researcher access to platform data.
- The EU now regulates 28 platforms under this top-tier DSA category, following WhatsApp's earlier designation.
