EU Tags Pornhub, XVideos, Stripchat as VLOPs, Tightens Age Checks

Pornhub, XVideos, and Stripchat are now subject to stricter age verification under the European Union’s Digital Services Act (DSA) after being designated as “Very Large Online Platforms” (VLOPs). The European Commission announced that these sites meet the 45 million monthly EU user threshold, requiring compliance with DSA by February 2024.

As VLOPs, they must perform risk assessments and curb illegal content, including child sexual abuse material and deepfake pornography. They’re also obligated to undergo external audits, publish content moderation transparency reports, and provide research data.

EU Commissioner Margrethe Vestager welcomed the designations for ensuring heightened scrutiny of these platforms’ algorithms and processes. Initially, the EU listed 17 VLOPs and two search engines, including major services like Amazon and Google Search, but excluded adult content sites.

Classification as a ‘very large’ platform applies to services with at least 45 million EU monthly users. XVideos reported 160 million, while Pornhub stated 33 million, a figure doubted by the EU. Other sites like XHamster and YouPorn reported lower user numbers.

In October, 30 NGOs criticized the underreported user figures of major porn sites, suggesting they were avoiding VLOP status and related regulatory responsibilities. Access Now questioned Pornhub’s reported numbers against traffic analysis, indicating much higher figures.

This development is part of a global push for stricter age verification on porn sites. The US, France, Germany, and the UK are pursuing similar measures. Under the DSA, all online platforms must follow basic rules, including illegal content reporting and sensitive data usage in advertising.

Several companies are legally challenging their VLOP designation, including Amazon and Zalando. Since the DSA’s implementation, the EU has been actively enforcing the rules, investigating Meta, TikTok, and the former Twitter over content and disinformation management.

Updated Community Guidelines: Clearer Guidance for Real Streaming Situations

We’ve updated the Community Guidelines to make them clearer, more transparent, and easier to use in everyday streaming situations.

We know it isn’t always easy to understand how a rule applies to a specific moment on camera. The updated Guidelines include clearer explanations and brand-new enforcement notes for relevant policy areas. These notes answer questions we hear most often.

Alongside these practical explanations, the update highlights a key principle behind moderation: context matters. We review the whole situation rather than isolated words, objects, or moments in a broadcast. A single unverified report does not trigger enforcement on its own.

Read the updated Community Guidelines to get a better sense of the platform’s boundaries and what to expect from moderation.

We’ve updated the Guidelines with your experience in mind. Tell us what you think in the community Discord and follow us on Telegram for quick platform news.
