The European Union added OpenAI's ChatGPT to the scope of the Digital Services Act on March 31, classifying it as a 'very large search engine'. ^[1] TikTok's seventh DSA transparency report, covering the first half of 2026, states that the platform reaches 189 million people in the European Union every month. ^[2] Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier filed a 76-page civil complaint in December 2025 accusing Roblox of deceiving parents while allowing predators to approach and groom children. ^[3] The European Commission designated Roblox as a Very Large Online Platform under the Digital Services Act on Monday due to having at least 45 million monthly users in the European Union. ^[4] Platforms are classified as 'very large' if they have more than 4,500 monthly users across the 27 EU member states. ^[5] Meta's DSA transparency report states that Facebook had 264 million active users in the European Union in the first half of 2026. ^[6] ChatGPT's designation creates a second major layer of oversight requiring coordination between the EU AI Act and the DSA. ^[7] A proven violation of the Digital Services Act rules can bring a fine of up to 6% of the company's global annual revenue. ^[8] Roblox has until January 2027 to comply with additional rules, including assessing how its design and algorithms expose users to illegal content and harm minors. ^[9] AI experts argue that classifying ChatGPT as a search engine is semantically incorrect because the model functions more like an operating system that coordinates tools and generates new content rather than merely retrieving existing information. ^[10] The article states that search engines retrieve existing information, whereas generative models can create new software, prove mathematical theorems, and autonomously execute tools to solve problems. ^[11] The affected companies have been given four months to comply with additional obligations under the Digital Services Act. ^[12]
