VLOPs, which include Meta Platforms Inc.’s Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, as well as Elon Musk’s X, must file transparency reports, detail risk mitigation plans and pay an annual fee to the EU. Companies that breach the DSA risk fines of as much as six per cent of their annual global sales.The DSA aims to protect children online by compelling tech companies to safeguard their experiences. Roblox, which has faced criticism over its child-safety protections, recently implemented stronger controls over who kids talk to and what games they play. The company is also moving more into advertising, which the DSA aims to make more transparent when it comes to marketing to kids.The commission has opened more than a dozen probes into online platforms since the DSA came into force in 2022. The rules have riled United States President Donald Trump’s administration, which has accused the EU of targeting American companies.
