European Commission charges Pornhub, Stripchat, XNXX and XVideos with Digital Services Act breaches
Change
European Commission charged Pornhub, Stripchat, XNXX and XVideos with breaching the Digital Services Act for allowing children access to pornographic content and made them liable.
Why it matters
Covered platforms must now implement effective, privacy-preserving age verification and use objective risk-assessment methodologies. Basic self-declaration, page blurring and content warnings are no longer considered sufficient safeguards under the enforcement standard.
Implications
- • Compliance teams at Pornhub, Stripchat, XNXX and XVideos must implement privacy-preserving age verification systems.
- • Risk-assessment teams at those platforms must adopt objective, documented methodologies to evaluate minors' exposure to content.
