Framing Analysis
On August 31 the European Commission designated ChatGPT as a Very Large Online Search Engine and Reddit and Roblox as Very Large Online Platforms under the Digital Services Act, citing monthly EU user bases of at least 45 million for each service. The designations trigger additional obligations including risk assessments and transparency measures, with a four-month compliance period. The move expands the European Commission's supervisory and investigative authority over these services.
