Pornhub, Stripchat and XVideos will need to abide by the European Union’s strictest digital regulations after they were designated “very large online platforms” (VLOPs) by the EU executive on Wednesday.

The three adult content companies join the likes of Facebook, Instagram, Google and Elon Musk’s X on the bloc’s list of platforms with more than 45 million average monthly users in the EU.

Brussels will now be able to police the sites’ compliance with its strictest set of rules under the landmark Digital Services Act (DSA), including on protecting minors and addressing the dissemination of illegal content.

    This is an issue for parents, not governments.

          Yeah I’ll take parental responsibility advice from a yank when your kids are more likely to reach adult literacy than witness a school shooting

            How about you raise your own kids instead fucking up everything for the rest of us because you’re too lazy to set up restrictions on your kids phones.

              My kids don’t have phones because it is possible to parent your children and also parent other people’s children 👍
