OpenAI’s ChatGPT and video game company Roblox will face stricter scrutiny and monitoring requirements under the EU’s content moderation rules, following their surpassing of 45 million monthly users in the bloc. This threshold places them under consideration for designation as very large online platforms or search engines under the Digital Services Act (DSA), which the European Commission is actively analyzing. The DSA aims to enhance transparency, requiring affected providers to publish reports on their content moderation practices.
