Commission opens investigations to safeguard minors from pornographic content under the Digital Services Act
The DSA aims to ensure a safer environment online for minors, in this context, the Commission has opened formal proceedings against Pornhub, Stripchat, XNXX, and XVideos for suspected breaches of the Digital Services Act (DSA).
Tech Sovereignty, Security and Democracy Executive Vice President Henna Virkkunen (pictured) said: "The online space should be a safe environment for children to learn and connect. Our priority is to protect minors and allow them to navigate safely online. Together with the Digital Service Coordinators in the member states we are determined to tackle any potential harm to young online users."
In parallel, member states, coming together in the European Board for Digital Services, are taking a coordinated action against smaller pornographic platforms. These actions will reinforce the Commission's effort to protect minors from harmful content online, both as regards very large adult platforms supervised by the Commission and smaller ones that fall under the supervision of the Digital Services Coordinators.
More information is available in a press release online.
