Brussels Adds ChatGPT, Reddit And Roblox To Its Strictest Tier
Each crossed the EU's 45 million monthly user threshold and must submit to audits by late November, joining 28 platforms total.
- ChatGPT's search function logged 159 million EU monthly users over six months ending March 2026.
- Reddit reported 57.2 million monthly EU users, Roblox around 48 million, both above threshold.
- New duties: annual risk audits on minors, mental health, elections, plus data access for regulators.
Why it matters: The companies' own disclosed user counts, not any regulator's finding, are what triggered these binding duties.
