Source report. ChatGPT, Reddit and Roblox have been designated under the EU Digital Services Act’s additional regime for very large services.
Source: European Commission. Original source published 31 August 2026. Published on Alder Atlas: 14 September 2026.
What the source says
The Commission says the services reported at least 45 million average monthly users in the EU, triggering extra duties after a four-month compliance period.
Why it matters
The duties concern systemic risks, including risks to minors, fundamental rights and public security. A designation is a regulatory step, not a finding that every obligation has been breached.
What the report does not establish
The notice does not decide how each company will comply or how its measures will perform. That requires later evidence and supervisory work.
What to watch next
Risk assessments, transparency reports and Commission decisions will show what changes in practice.
