EU Investigates Major Porn Sites Over Child Safety
Wall Street Journal - WSJ TechTuesday, May 27, 2025 at 11:39:00 AM
The European Commission is cracking down on major porn websites, launching an investigation into whether they're failing to comply with tough new regulations aimed at protecting kids from harmful content online. This isn't just a slap on the wrist—it could lead to hefty fines or even blocked access in the EU if violations are found.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about porn—it’s part of a bigger push in Europe to hold tech platforms accountable for keeping kids safe. If these sites aren’t doing enough to verify ages or filter harmful material, the EU is ready to take action. It signals a harder line on digital content rules, which could ripple out to other platforms down the line.
