The European Commission has initiated investigation of four major adult websites including Pornhb, Stripchat, 7 and XVidos.Investigation is concerned whether these porn websites are failing to save children online. The investigation center on whether they are violating new rules under the Digital Services Act (DSA), which aims to secure the Internet, especially for minors.The DSA, the European Union Rules book for large online platforms, companies need to take strong steps to mold users with harmful or illegal materials. This involves ensuring that children cannot easily reach adult materials, possibly through age-convenience tools. The European Union’s top technology promoter, Henna Virkunen, was quoted as a financial time, “Online space should be a safe environment to learn and connect children.” “Our priority is to protect minors and allow them to be safely navigated online.”The Commission’s investigation began after reviewing the formal reactions from the internal company’s data and platforms. It was found that current safety measures do not adequately reduce the risk for children. In particular, sites were criticized for lack of effective age verification and not to have proper privacy, safety and safety security for minors.In parallel, the European Union member states have coordinated a crack on small porn websites under their own national laws, which aims to continuously enforce the DSA throughout the block. If the major platforms do not comply with, they can withstand interim functions or heavy fines of up to 6 percent of their global business.The Commission also revealed that Stripchat would soon be removed from the list of “very large online platforms” under the DSA rules, which means it will no longer be subject to strict requirements.Global regulators have long been struggling on police user-based material sites, depending on individuals posting materials and have often been accused of hosting harmful or illegal materials. Porn websites have been challenging to control exclusively.Addressing concerns about censorship, an official of a commission stated that the European Union is “unknown to material” and focuses on ensuring the platforms completely, follows the rules, reporting the closing time. In addition, Brussels is developing a European Union-wide age-diet app. This tool will allow the platform to confirm users without sharing additional individual details. This is expected to be available at the end of this year.
