EU puts ChatGPT, Reddit and Roblox under stricter rules
ChatGPT, Reddit and Roblox now have over 45 million average monthly users in Europe, making it subject to the Digital Services Act.
The European Commission announced on Monday that US-based platforms ChatGPT, Reddit, and Roblox will face more stringent data protection rules following the attainment of a significant user benchmark. With each platform boasting over 45 million average monthly users within the European Union, they must now evaluate and address potential dangers associated with prohibited content, the safeguarding of minors, and users' mental well-being.
The Digital Services Act (DSA), which entered into effect throughout the region in February, has previously been implemented on entities such as TikTok and Meta. ChatGPT has now become the initial AI chatbot to come under the scope of the law's jurisdiction. Roblox, a user-generated content gaming platform, is now classified as a Very Large Online Platform (VLOP), alongside Reddit.
OpenAI owns ChatGPT, which is also subject to European AI regulations. The EU has intensified its scrutiny of tech conglomerates and social media in recent years, including instructing TikTok to modify its addictive design or face potential prohibition across the bloc.
