The EU has designated ChatGPT, Reddit, and Roblox as "very large" online platforms under the Digital Services Act, imposing stricter regulatory obligations and oversight with a four-month compliance deadline. This move introduces rigorous requirements on content moderation, user safety, and political integrity, with heavy fines and potential bans for non-compliance.

◆ The Wire takeaway

EU regulation is raising the bar on AI platforms like ChatGPT with sharp new rules and big fines. You need to adjust your compliance roadmap fast or risk losing access to the entire European market.
