Pornhub and three other porn sites face EU child safety probe
The European Commission is investigating Pornhub, Stripchat, XVideos, and XNXX for potentially violating EU online content laws by failing to implement measures to protect children. The platforms are accused of lacking appropriate age verification methods to prevent minors from accessing adult material. This probe comes amidst a global crackdown on online porn sites without proper age verification, with regulators aiming to safeguard children's rights and well-being. Pornhub, the world's top porn site, faces increasing regulatory pressure and has already blocked access in certain US states requiring age verification.
