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 do you suggest the platforms should do that? The lazy way everybody around pushes results in the platforms storing huge ammouts of data with government issued IDs. If you don't trust them with child protection, do you really trust them to keep that data private, not leak them and not misuse them?
So please, really think through the next steps. Cause so far I see only really stupid solutions for this issue, resulting in weakening privacy in the name of protecting children.
