It’s Time to Take the DSA and GDPR Seriously

Adult platforms have never been more visible to regulators than they are right now. The Digital Services Act (DSA) is fully in force across the EU, GDPR enforcement keeps accelerating, and parallel “online safety” regimes in the UK and U.S. are converging on the same targets: pornography sites, creator platforms, cam networks, and tube-style aggregators.
