"EU Implements Strict Safety Measures on Pornhub, XVideos, and Stripchat"

Pornhub, XVideos, and Stripchat have been designated as "Very Large Online Platforms" (VLOPs) under the European Union's Digital Services Act (DSA), requiring them to comply with stricter regulations to verify user ages and mitigate the spread of illegal content. The designation aims to increase scrutiny and accountability of their algorithms and processes. The EU's list of VLOPs now includes major pornography sites, in addition to platforms like Amazon, Facebook, and YouTube. The move comes as efforts to enforce age verification for pornography sites globally are increasing.
