We've designated ChatGPT as a Very Large Online Search Engine, and Reddit and Roblox as Very Large Online Platforms, under the #DSA.
They reach at least 45 million average monthly users in the EU and therefore meet the threshold.
Now, they have four months to comply with additional obligations, including assessing and mitigating risks related to illegal content, negative effects on minors, users’ mental wellbeing, fundamental rights and public security.

@EUCommission I love how every EUC initiative about the internet boils down to mass surveillance and oppression of regular people but only tiny fines for the large corporations at fault. Muah chefs kiss ✨
@EUCommission hey, what about Gemini and Claude?
@EUCommission
Okay, fair enough.
Now, tell me, how large does the fediverse have to grow to fall under the DSA?
I know it might never reach that level, but what if it someday does?
We need to think about that now, especially considering the EU (aligned think tank) seems to consider the fediverse as a problem [1]

@EUCommission ChatGPT as a search engine? Oh my God, what are you doing?
@EUCommission
if not they pay with loan notes?
@EUCommission Meanwhile, local law is disintegrating just as fast as international.
Shaking a fist at the worst abusers, is no better than voting in rigged systems. Remove abusive power.
@EUCommission I think it is a bit silly to ask the companies themself how many monthly users they have. Companies have the option to lie and avoid legal obligations.
@EUCommission a language model being classified as a search engine is among the most fucked up things the EU has done.
Im gonna slide it right under chat control.
@dormouse759 @EUCommission it seems like an entirely reasonable and correct classification to me, since ChatGPT explicitly wants to replace Google et al as the way people "find" information.
@EUCommission If you put https:// before that link it could be clicked directly.
@EUCommission And if not, they'll pay a small amount to get away with it?
