  "account": "As the EU Digital Services Act (DSA) imposes its most stringent rules on large online platforms, ChatGPT, Roblox, and Reddit are among the 28 platforms designated as Very Large Online Platforms (VLOPs) or Very Large Online Search Engines (VLOSEs). These platforms must ensure their user-friendly terms and conditions, establish contact points for authorities and users, report criminal offenses, and identify systemic risks within their services. Non-compliance may result in penalties up to 6% of their global annual revenue. The EU's Coimisiún na Meáin will oversee the designated platforms, with the executive vice-president for tech sovereignty, security, and democracy Henna Virkkunen emphasizing the importance of holding platforms like ChatGPT, Reddit, and Roblox to a higher standard of scrutiny and accountability.",
  "summary": "The platforms have four months to comply with the rules or face penalties of up to 6pc of its global revenue. Read more: ChatGPT, Roblox, Reddit to face strictest EU DSA rules",
