BRUSSELS, Aug 31 (Reuters) - The European Commission on Monday said ChatGPT, Reddit and Roblox will need to adhere to the EU regulations for very large online platforms and search engines.
• The services have declared that they reach at least 45 million monthly users in the EU.
• This qualifies them for the "very large" designation under the bloc's Digital Services Act, the Commission said.
• ChatGPT, Reddit and Roblox have four months to comply with additional obligations following their designation.
• This includes assessing and mitigating risks of illegal content being disseminated through their platforms.
• They also need to mitigate the negative effects on minors, and on the physical and mental wellbeing of users.
• Very large platforms and search engines also need to limit risks for fundamental rights, electoral processes and public security.
• The Commission can supervise compliance with the DSA and will get investigative powers to assess functionalities behind the services.
• AI-system ChatGPT qualifies as an online search engine under the DSA.
• Gaming platform Roblox and discussion-based platform Reddit qualify as online platforms, as they enable users to disseminate third-party content to the public.
