European Union: Announced European Commission investigation into Stripchat over minors protection and the prevention of gender-based violence

Description

Announced European Commission investigation into Stripchat over minors protection and the prevention of gender-based violence

On 13 June 2024, the European Commission announced the launch of an investigation into Stripchat over minors protection and the prevention of gender-based violence. The European Commission requested detailed information from Stripchat under the Digital Services Act (DSA) to assess how this platform protects minors online and prevent the spread of illegal content and gender-based violence. The company must provide information on the age assurance mechanisms it has implemented and details on its internal organisation to ensure compliance with DSA regulations. This includes providing its teams with adequate authority and resources to manage systemic risks. The deadline for the company to respond is 4 July 2024, and failure to provide accurate information could result in fines or periodic penalty payments. On the same date, the European Commission also initiated similar investigations into two other pornographic content platforms.
