"The European Commission accused four porn platforms of not doing enough to prevent minors from accessing their content, stating that their self-declaration measures are ineffective."
"The platforms failed to use objective methodologies to assess risks to minors, with their risk assessments focusing more on business concerns than on the wellbeing of children."
"The EC demanded that the platforms implement privacy-preserving age verification systems, emphasizing the need to protect the rights and wellbeing of minors."
The European Commission found that Pornhub, Stripchat, XNXX, and XVideos failed to adequately prevent minors from accessing their content. Their current age verification methods, such as self-declaration, are deemed ineffective. The platforms did not conduct thorough risk assessments regarding minors' access to content and prioritized business concerns over societal risks. The EC has given the platforms an opportunity to respond and implement necessary changes, warning that non-compliance could result in significant fines.
