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.
