In a bold move to protect internet users and ensure their safety, the European Union (EU) is expanding the reach of its digital law with new requirements for three of the world's largest porn websites. Pornhub, XVideos, and Stripchat, each boasting over 45 million users, have now been classified as very large online platforms under the Digital Services Act (DSA), according to the European Commission.
Under the DSA, these adult entertainment giants face stringent obligations to verify the ages of their users, joining the ranks of other major platforms like TikTok, Amazon, Facebook, Instagram, and Google, which have already been identified for stricter scrutiny under the law.
