<p>The move expands the reach of the EU’s digital law, designed to keep people safe on the internet.</p>
<p>Pornhub, XVideos and Stripchat have now been classed as very large online platforms under the Digital Services Act (DSA) because they have more than 45 million users each, according to the European Commission, the EU’s executive branch.</p>
<p>The three companies are the first porn sites to be targeted by the sweeping Digital Services Act, which imposes tough obligations to keep users safe from illegal content and dodgy products.</p>
<p>Violations are punishable by fines of up to 6 per cent of global revenue or even a ban on operating in the EU.</p>
<p>Some 19 online platforms and search engines have already been identified for stricter scrutiny under the DSA, including TikTok, Amazon, Facebook, Instagram, Google and more.</p>
<p>The law includes provisions to protect children by preventing them “from accessing pornographic content online, including with age verification tools”, the commission said in a press release.</p>
<p>The DSA also calls for measures to curb the risk of spreading illegal content online, such as child sexual abuse material, or content that breaches “fundamental rights” like privacy, such as “non-consensual” images or deepfake porn.</p>
<p>“These measures can include adapting their terms and conditions, interfaces, moderation processes or algorithms, among others,” the commission said.</p>
<p>The DSA kicked in for the biggest online platforms in August. The requirements also include carrying out risk assessments, giving researchers access to publicly available data and filing regular transparency reports.</p>
<p>The EU has used the law to crack down on Elon Musk’s social media platform X, previously known as Twitter, by opening an investigation on Monday into whether it failed to do enough to stop the spread of illegal content such as hate speech or incitement of terrorism.</p>
