# EU Investigates Pornographic Platforms for Minor Protection Violations:
The European Commission launched formal investigations into Pornhub, Stripchat, XNXX, and XVideos for failing to prevent minors from accessing adult content, violating the Digital Services Act (DSA). The Commission cited inadequate measures to protect young users from potential harm. The investigation will gather evidence to assess compliance, with potential fines of up to 6% of global turnover for violations. While Pornhub's parent company, Aylo, supports child safety, it advocates for device-level age verification. The EU is also developing an age-verification app to enhance online child protection guidelines.
