Adult content platforms Pornhub, Stripchat, XNXX and XVideos will be investigated for suspected breaches of EU online content law, EU regulators said on Tuesday.

The European Commission said the companies have not complied with rules requiring them to put in place appropriate measures to protect minors from adult content.
