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 Slop generators aren't "search engines", they are planet-damaging fascist tech.
@EUCommission this isn't part of trying to eliminate online anonymity, I hope, because the fascist system in the US is already going too far
@EUCommission Roblox's CEO literally admitted on a shareholder call or something that their business model is child slavery. They have job announcements for 12 and 13 year olds to put in long hours coding and will be paid in Robux or whatever the fuck their money is called.
Some mom in Georgia (USA) is suing them in California for this shit and seeking like $400,000 in compensation for all the work her kid did.
These American tech firms are pure garbage.

Hi @atarifrosch! Thank you for spotting this! We have corrected the link in the post.
@EUCommission I'm surprised that Reddit with its worldwide 120 mio MAU is designated, while Discord Inc with its worldwide +200 mio MAU is not.
Has Reddit that many EU monthly active users?
@EUCommission ChatGPT is not a search engine, it is a parasite to human creativity and expression...though I guess you don't have a designation for that under the DSA!
@EUCommission chatGPT is NOT A SEARCH ENGINE

@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.
