European regulators have launched formal probes into several adult platforms accused of allowing minors to access adult content. The investigation targets Pornhub, Stripchat, XNXX, and XVideos for failing to implement measures that protect minors from accessing adult material. This action could be seen as an escalation in enforcement under the Digital Services Act, highlighting a broader push to safeguard young users online.
