New plan

The European Union is tightening oversight of ChatGPT after the European Commission placed the OpenAI service on its list of “very large platforms.”
The designation means ChatGPT must comply with the EU’s Digital Services Act, which imposes additional obligations on the largest digital services. The rules require platforms to take responsibility for removing illegal content.
ChatGPT now joins services including Reddit and Roblox on the special list. Companies that fail to meet the requirements risk substantial fines.
