EU Fines Porn Sites for Lax Child Protection

Published 5 days, 23 hours ago
Description

The European Commission has found four major porn sites—Pornhub, Stripchat, X N X X, and X Videos—guilty of violating EU digital rules by allowing children to access adult content. The platforms failed to implement adequate risk checks for minors and relied on unreliable user-self-declared age checks. If the allegations hold, the companies could face fines of up to 6% of their global annual revenue. The EU is also testing a privacy-friendly age verification tool in six countries, with Pornhub participating. The platforms have been criticized for focusing on business-related risks rather than genuine dangers to young users, aligning with other swift Digital Services Act actions promoting online safety.
