EU Fines Porn Sites Over Child Access, Probes Snapchat
The European Union accused Pornhub, Stripchat, XNXX, and XVideos of allowing minors to access adult content, risking large fines. The Commission confirmed children could access all four platforms with a simple click. Separately, the EU launched its first probe into Snapchat under the Digital Services Act, investigating whether the app exposes minors to grooming and illegal drug sales. Snapchat stated user safety is a top priority and confirmed full cooperation with the EU. This regulatory action highlights increasing global scrutiny of online platforms' child protection measures.
