ChatGPT and others included in the EU “super-large online platform” will be subject to stricter content regulation

On August 31st, according to Bloomberg, the European Commission identified the ChatGPT of OpenAI as a “super-large online search engine” and listed Reddit and Roblox as “super-large online platforms” on the grounds that they had more than 45 million users per month in the EU region. The above-mentioned platforms are required to strengthen the treatment of illegal and harmful content under the Digital Services Act (DSA), to submit transparency reports, risk mitigation plans and to pay annual fees to the EU, with the highest number of violations or a global annual fine of 6 per cent. DSA has also requested the Platform to enhance the protection of minors and the transparency of advertising, and EU regulatory bodies have initiated more than a dozen investigations of online platforms under the Act。
