The European Commission is the executive branch of the European Union, responsible for proposing legislation, implementing decisions, and managing the day-to-day business of the EU. It is the primary enforcer of the Digital Services Act (DSA), a landmark EU regulation that came into force in 2023 aimed at creating a safer and more accountable online environment by imposing obligations on digital platforms regarding illegal content, transparency, and systemic risks. The Commission has designated major platforms such as ChatGPT, Reddit, and Roblox under the DSA, holding them to strict compliance standards to protect users across the EU.
