"In the EU, online platforms have a responsibility. Children are accessing adult content at increasingly younger ages and these platforms must put in place robust, privacy-preserving and effective measures to keep minors off their services."
"The European Commission suspects the company of failing to prevent children from using the platform, exposing minors to myriad risks including attempted cyber-grooming and criminal recruitment."
The European Commission has accused Snapchat and four porn sites of failing to protect children from accessing adult content. Underage users can easily bypass age restrictions by simply clicking a confirmation button. This lack of oversight violates EU digital rules and could lead to significant fines. The Commission emphasizes the responsibility of online platforms to implement effective measures to safeguard minors. Companies that do not comply with EU legislation may face fines of up to 6% of their annual global revenues.
