ChatGPT and Roblox are expected to be designated as the European Union\'s \"very large online platforms\", which would subject them to tougher rules under the Digital Services Act, including harmful content controls and transparency reporting. The European Commission is moving ahead with the procedure, with a designation possible as early as August. The status applies to services with more than 45 million monthly active users in the EU.

False and manipulated information is not limited to a handful of users or posts but can spread rapidly through large platforms’ search, recommendation, sharing and monetisation systems, with risks ranging from personal harm to distorted consumer choices and damage to elections. As AI lowers production costs, post hoc deletion and punishment are not enough. A revised enforcement decree under the Information and Communications Network Act seeks tiered responsibilities based on scale and impact, and institutionalises reporting procedures, transparency reports and cooperation with fact-checking bodies.
