The European Commission is investigating Pornhub, Stripchat, and two other adult websites over insufficient measures to protect children from accessing adult content. Initial findings indicate these platforms lack effective age verification systems, failing to ensure children's rights and safety. The Commission has criticized the use of pop-up prompts as inadequate for verifying users' age. This inquiry aligns with a global push for stricter regulations on online pornography to prevent minors from exposure. Similar investigations by the UK's Ofcom reflect a growing concern over this issue.
The Commission found that the four platforms had not implemented measures to ensure a high level of privacy, safety, and security for minors.
The EU emphasizes that online platforms must have age verification tools to effectively protect children from accessing adult content.
