In August, OpenAI’s “ChatGPT” application and the “Roblox” gaming platform will be designated as “very large online platforms” in the European Union (EU) and will be subject to the strictest content moderation rules.
“Elchi” reports that Bloomberg has provided information on this matter.
This measure will come into effect because both companies have exceeded the threshold of 45 million monthly users from EU countries. Following this, under the Digital Services Act (DSA), they will be granted the special “VLOP” status, although the decision to grant this status must be made by the European Commission.
The Digital Services Act requires all social networks and search engines to prevent the spread of illegal and harmful content.
Additional obligations are envisioned for platforms with “VLOP” status, which already includes Meta Platforms and Elon Musk’s “X” social network: they must submit transparency reports, present risk mitigation plans, and pay an annual fee to the European Commission. For violating these rules, companies face fines of up to 6% of their global annual turnover.
