Source: European Commission (video statements)
Many pornographic platforms are in breach of the Digital Services Act, particularly when it comes to enforcing effective age restrictions. That means that minors, some as young as 7 years old, can access these sites without limitation, which can lead to negative impacts on their development. The EU is taking action, and platforms now have the opportunity to respond and demonstrate compliance.
Snapchat Under Investigation in the EU
Source: European Commission (video statements)
The European Commission has launched an investigation into Snapchat over potential breaches of the Digital Services Act. This comes after the platform has failed to respect its own terms and conditions. With 97 million users across the European Union, children as young as 10 years old use the platform daily, which is below the age limitation. Following this breach of the Digital Services Act, the European Commission has launched an investigation on Snapchat.
