00:00Pornhub, StripChat, XNXX and X-Videos are the subject of a new investigation by the European Commission.
00:09The four sites potentially violated the Digital Services Act, the EU's online safety rulebook, concerning child protection.
00:17The Commission says the investigation will focus on risks to minors, including the apparent lack of effective age verification systems.
00:25The sites are accused of failing to implement appropriate tools to stop children from accessing pornographic content.
00:33The Commission claims the platforms lack safeguards to protect users from potential harm, including risks to their mental and physical health.
00:42Under the DSA, major tech and content platforms are required to better protect users in the EU, especially children.
00:49The Commission says it will also work with national regulators to ensure smaller adult platforms follow the same rules.
