EU Will Reportedly Label ChatGPT and Roblox ‘Very Large Online Platforms’ (Derogatory)

The threshold to be considered for the designation is 45 million EU-based monthly users, and other members of the very large online platform club include the Amazon Store, TikTok, Wikipedia, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and of course Zalando (It’s European).
