ChatGPT and Roblox will be subject to tighter rules in the EU. They will be added to the EU’s ‘very large online platform’ VLOP list, subjecting them to stricter rules under the Digital Services Act. (www.engadget.com)

"VLOP" - they were so close. if only they'd called them "Super Large Online Platform"...

The media would have an absolute field day. Can you imagine the headlines? "OpenAI officially classified by the EU as SLOP".

This is exactly how the DSA is supposed to work: Once a platform reaches sufficient scale and societal impact, it faces higher transparency and accountability requirements regardless of whether it’s social media, gaming, or AI. If anything, it would be more surprising if major AI platforms weren’t eventually included.
