The European Commission on Tuesday conducted a formal investigation into four major porn platforms on suspicious failures to prevent minors from reaching adult materials.
Brussels say that four – Pornhb, Stripchat, E.NXX and XVidos – are working in violation of the Digital Services Act (DSA) of the European Union.
What is the investigation of the European Union?
The Commission said that platforms do not have “appropriated and proportional measures” and have warned young users of potential mental and physical damage.
“Online locations should be a safe environment to learn and connect children,” said Henna Virkunan, Commissioner of the European Union responsible for digital matters. “Our priority is to protect minors and allow them to be safely navigated online.”
All four platforms were classified as “very large online platforms” under DSA – subjected to strict oversite – although the stripchat was recently removed from the list, when he still wants to cover the period when he still wishes when he is eligible.
The Commission said that the purpose of the investigation is to collect more evidence, including interviews and technical assessments, to determine whether the platforms are in violation of the European Union law.
What can be meant to check porn site?
Violation of DSA may lead to a fine of up to 6% of the company’s global business or a fine of the European Union ban for frequent violations.
While the Commission said that launching the sample does not prejudice its result, it emphasized the urgency of saving children online.
Under the Digital Services Act, forums need to provide an effective age verification equipment to block access to minors, immediate removal of illegal materials and provide simple mechanisms to users to report harmful or illegal materials.
Pornhub’s original company, Aylo, said it is “fully committed” to child safety and compliance with law, but argued that age verification should be handled at the device level, not by websites. Other companies did not respond to the recommendations of comments.
The European Union has so much development of the official age-classity app and invited public inputs, including parents, as part of the widespread efforts to create binding guidelines for online child protection.
