The DSA aims to ensure a safer environment online for minors, in this context, the Commission has opened formal proceedings against Pornhub, Stripchat, XNXX, and XVideos for suspected breaches of the Digital Services Act (DSA).
Meaning, the seller should not allow the minor to buy stuff on pornhub.
The law did not say that the minor could not try to buy pornography from the newsstand (or whatever else is forbidden to him) but that the seller could not sell to him.
Same here, a minor could try to buy, the seller must not sell to him. That is valid also for accessing the site.
So I fully agree that the EU comission check if this laws is respected also on internet.
For me the only thing to discuss about this is the “how it is done” which can be an interesting discusssion in itself.
But it’s not about selling online but about access. Which is parental responsibility.
Fully agree.
But I was not against the fact that also the site check if who is trying to access can legally access (and I don’t think the simple “Are you of legal age” question is enough)
Why do we restrict porn at 16 anyway? Make it 13 or 12 to make more sense.

It is 18 here, but it can be a nice discussion.
