The biggest pornography websites operating in Europe will have to bring in “appropriate age-gating” to prevent children from viewing their content, Ireland’s digital services commissioner has said. Another social media company, Tumblr, decided to change its terms and conditions so it does not allow pornography anymore. "Investigations and enforcement findings and fines are not the only way to get change,” Mr Evans said. Mr Evans was unable to give a specific timeline for when Coimisiún na Meán would complete its investigations into the big tech giants. You’ll see from the X case [announced by the European Commission] with a €120m fine.
