ChatGPT, Roblox could be included in DSA scope, EU Commission spokesperson says
The move follows both services passing 45 million monthly users in the bloc, triggering tougher scrutiny, transparency reporting and annual fees under EU rules.
- The European Commission is designating ChatGPT and Roblox as 'very large online platforms' under the Digital Services Act after both services surpassed 45 million monthly users in Europe.
- Under the DSA, platforms exceeding 45 million monthly EU-based users face stricter scrutiny and must implement rigorous content moderation and transparency protocols to comply with regional regulations.
- Within four months of official designation, platforms must establish 'risk mitigation' plans, file transparency reports, and pay annual supervisory fees to the European Commission for regulatory oversight.
- Companies face penalties of up to 6 per cent of annual global sales for breaches, with requirements targeting illegal content, electoral processes, and gender-based violence.
- The designation joins Meta Platforms and Elon Musk's X on the 'very large online platforms' list, though President Donald Trump's administration accused the EU of censoring American companies.
