ArsTechnica, a renowned news source, has recently reported that the European Union is preparing to regulate three major online platforms in the adult entertainment industry. These platforms include Xvideos, Pornhub, and Stripchat, all of which fall under the category of “very large online platforms.”
According to the requirements outlined in the Digital Services Act (DSA), platforms of this magnitude must have over 45 million users. This means that previously, other major platforms like Facebook, Wikipedia, and TikTok have already fallen under the purview of these regulations. However, in the case of adult entertainment websites, additional measures will be mandated, such as age verification for users and the removal of illegal content, including non-consensual pornography.
Xvideos, a highly popular platform in the European Union, boasts a staggering monthly user base of 160 million. On the other hand, Pornhub, while still significant, has only 33 million monthly users from the EU and might not be subject to the DSA regulations. The stance of Stripchat, another platform in question, remains unclear as of now.
To summarize, the European Union is gearing up to enforce stricter regulations on major adult entertainment platforms, including Xvideos, Pornhub, and potentially Stripchat, to safeguard user experience and ensure compliance with the law.
TLDR: The European Union is planning to regulate major adult websites like Xvideos, Pornhub, and Stripchat, requiring them to implement measures such as age verification and removal of illegal content. Xvideos, with its massive user base of 160 million, is particularly in focus.
