EU Investigates Major Adult Websites for Violating Child Protection Laws
The European Commission has launched an investigation into Pornhub, Stripchat, XNXX, and XVideos for failing to protect minors from adult content.
Overview
The European Commission has opened formal proceedings against Pornhub, Stripchat, XNXX, and XVideos for not implementing adequate age verification measures to protect minors from accessing adult content. The investigation is part of the enforcement of the Digital Services Act (DSA), which mandates online platforms to prioritize child safety. The Commission's preliminary findings suggest these platforms have not complied with necessary safety measures, potentially leading to fines of up to 6% of their global revenue. An age-verification app is also being developed to assist in compliance.
