EU Investigates Porn Sites for Child Safety Violations
The European Union is checking four adult websites (Pornhub, Stripchat, XNXX, and XVideos) to see if they are keeping children safe online.
They want to make sure kids can't easily see adult content, which is against the rules.
The EU is checking if the websites have proper age checks, and they don't believe the current checks are good enough.
If the websites don't improve, they could be fined.
The EU is also making an app to help verify ages.
The European Commission is investigating Pornhub, Stripchat, XNXX, and XVideos.
The probe focuses on the safety of minors, especially age verification.
The investigation concerns the Digital Services Act (DSA) compliance.
Platforms face potential fines up to 6% of their global turnover for violations.
The EU is developing an age-verification app and public guidelines.
