OpenAI’s ChatGPT and the video game platform Roblox are set to fall under the European Union’s strictest online platform requirements after reaching a user threshold in the bloc. Bloomberg and Free Malaysia Today report that the companies surpass 45 million monthly users in the EU, triggering enhanced obligations under the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA). The DSA framework increases compliance and oversight expectations for very large online platforms, including tighter monitoring and reporting duties related to content moderation. The reports indicate that both services—an AI chatbot and a gaming platform—will be included due to their scale of reach among EU users. The coverage does not specify any single new enforcement action or penalties, but it frames the change as a shift to the most stringent tier of the DSA regime. The companies’ obligations therefore expand to meet the DSA’s requirements for platform governance and risk management in the EU.
