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 M.me commissioner, little by little these companies are forcing age verification systems down to the operating systems. At that point, literally everything done on that computer/phone can be traced back to the ID card used for the verification, it does not matter how sophisticated the protocol may look like.
This is worrisome for many people.
