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.
Ah yes, all those little web companies who have been labelled “very large online platforms”, wont someone speak up for the poor little billion dollar businesses?
I’m more into futanari than the EU’s brand of psycho/political masochistic roleplay. Being cockblocked by a major government just doesn’t do it for me.
No judgment, of course. Don’t mean to kinkshame you.
