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.

        Yeah and the sky appears blue, who gives a fuck? It is a parent by parent decision not the decision of whoever got the most votes by parents to run the gov

          Yeah I’ll take parental responsibility advice from a yank when your kids are more likely to reach adult literacy than witness a school shooting

            How about you raise your own kids instead fucking up everything for the rest of us because you’re too lazy to set up restrictions on your kids phones.

              My kids don’t have phones because it is possible to parent your children and also parent other people’s children 👍

                Looking forward to your kids leaving your fascist ass in a retirement home after not speaking to you for 30 years.

                  Oh yeah, electing democratic representatives to act in the means I think is best for society with the same opportunity as everyone else - classic fascism…

                  We don’t really have retirement homes where I live because we haven’t failed the absolute bare minimum of humanity as a society and a culture
