EU designates ChatGPT, Reddit and Roblox as very large platforms under DSA

Verified European Commission (Digital Strategy), press release, 31 August 2026

What it does not test. This does not establish that the platforms' ownership, hosting or underlying infrastructure will move into European hands.

How this item counts. No movement: no answer to who owns, who operates, whose law governs or who made the parts changes. Weight 0. DSA designation triggers EU-wide audits; platforms' ownership/hosting/infrastructure unchanged. European Sovereignty Index
