EU Designates ChatGPT, Reddit, Roblox as High-Risk Platforms

The European Commission has classified ChatGPT, Reddit, and Roblox as Very Large Online Platforms under the Digital Services Act, subjecting them to the EU's strictest regulatory requirements. The decision treats ChatGPT as a search engine equivalent and signals aggressive EU enforcement of digital market rules. This marks a significant expansion of the DSA's scope to AI systems and social platforms.

Byte's take

Brussels just weaponized the DSA against the platforms it fears most. ChatGPT, Reddit, and Roblox now face the EU's harshest rulebook—mandatory transparency audits, content policing, and algorithmic oversight that will reshape how these services operate across 27 member states.
