ChatGPT and Reddit now face EU's toughest online safety rules

The European Commission has announced that OpenAI's ChatGPT and Reddit must now comply with the EU's strictest online safety regulations. This decision comes as both services have exceeded 45 million monthly active users in the EU, reaching the threshold for enhanced scrutiny under the Digital Services Act (DSA). Under these new rules, they are required to remove illegal content or face potential fines. These services have until the end of December to fulfill their additional obligations.

This marks the first time the EU's toughest online safety rules are applied to an AI service like ChatGPT, unlike previous applications to traditional social media platforms.
