The European Union is wielding its sweeping new rules for big online platforms in order to crack down on pornography sites Pornhub, Stripchat and XVideos. The European Commission, the bloc’s executive body, announced Wednesday that it had added the sites to its list of “very large online platforms” or VLOPs, a classification that subjects them to tougher standards covering age verification, content moderation and transparency under the landmark Digital Services Act. “Creating a safer online environment for our children is an enforcement priority under the DSA,” European Commissioner Thierry Breton said on X as he unveiled the three additions. The commission said in a statement that, following an investigation, it had found that all three platforms had at least 45 million average monthly users in the EU — the threshold for becoming a VLOP. Pornhub’s Canadian parent company, Aylo, and Stripchat did not immediately respond to CNN’s request for comment. XVideos could not be reached. The sites have four months to comply with rules specific to VLOPs, on top of general obligations applicable to nearly all online platforms by February 17.
