Linus Tech Tips Discussion

 Roblox, Reddit and ChatGPT under further EU scrutiny Summary Roblox, Reddit and ChatGPT under further EU scrutiny after being designated a Very Large Online Search Engine and Very Large Online Platforms, meaning they now qualify under the DSA (Digital Services Act) for more intensely policed consumer protection.   Quotes Quote These new designations mean that ChatGPT, Reddit and Roblox will now be held to a higher standard of scrutiny and accountability in the European Union   Henna Virkkunen, Executive Vice-President for Tech Sovereignty, Security and Democracy   My thoughts Being under more intense scrutiny means fines for failing to adhere to the DSA will increase steeply, as several other platforms have experienced recently. Given their impact, these large corporate organisations, mostly foreign, can no longer have greed as priority, b/c the EU will take that money away via fines or ultimo blocking access to a significant (potential) user base (approx 450m) which would impact their revenue stream directly via ads, their main income.   Sources:   Press release: https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_26_1772
