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.

@HennaVirkkunen how exactly these platforms should identify minors? And what would prevent minors from using a VPN to connect from a country that doesn't put such restrictions? Also, let's say you target the big players and VPNs are not a thing: how much time does it take to people to migrate to other less known porn sites, potentially being exposed to higher risks (e.g. viruses)?
