EU Identifies Compliance Gaps in Age Verification for Adult Content

The European Commission has reported that Snapchat and four adult websites are not effectively enforcing age limits for access to adult content, posing risks to children.

This non-compliance highlights significant gaps in current online safety measures, particularly regarding the protection of minors from inappropriate material.

In response, the EU plans to implement a new age-verification application, set to launch in 2027, aimed at enhancing compliance and safeguarding children's online experiences.
