Keeping kids safe online is a top priority.

Today, the Commission has preliminarily found porn platforms Pornhub, Stripchat, XNXX, and XVideos in breach of the Digital Services Act for allowing minors to access adult content.

We’ve also launched investigation into Snapchat under doubts that the platform has failed to adequately protect minors from harmful content, grooming, and illegal products like drugs and vapes. We also suspect that they have failed to verify users age sufficiently.

Are you suggesting it would be safe for EU citizens to submit their passport details to services like PornHub?

I think the sentiment is good but for age verification to work it needs to be provided as a service on EU/local governmental level to not leak sensitive information.

Unfortunatly not all countries have the faith in their goverment the same way we in Finland have, and in some cases for good reason, so age verification will be tricky to implement.
