Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Pornhub, Stripchat and XVideos will need to abide by the European Union's strictest digital regulations after they were designated "very large online platforms" (VLOPs) by the EU executive on Wednesday.

The three adult content companies join the likes of Facebook, Instagram, Google and Elon Musk's X on the bloc's list of platforms with more than 45 million average monthly users in the EU.

Brussels will now be able to police the sites' compliance with its strictest set of rules under the landmark Digital Services Act (DSA), including on protecting minors and addressing the dissemination of illegal content.

So, they expect users to provide a piece of ID to access porn? What a massive breach of privacy. Imagine a data leak, they will be able to tell who whatches what kind of porn. Do you want the world to know all your kinks? And I absolutely do not trust a porn site to keep my ID safe and secure. This is just a way to get porn sites out of EU because they know that no one will be giving their info even if you are over 18.

In many of the conservative-run US states this is already the case
