Many German Internet provider are legally against blocked orders that the State Institute for Media North Rhine-Westphalia (LFM NRW) has issued against a hardcore portal like Pornhub and YouPorn. For example, Vodafone submitted complaints against the orders before the Daseldorf administrative court. In short, the question is whether LFM is still responsible or whether the European Union Commission is eventually in charge of the Digital Services Act (DSA). The decision for the availability of online pornography in Germany can have far -reaching consequences. Judges should clarify how and how national laws can be implemented in the digital age.
“In our understanding, DSA represents a complete harmony,” a Vodafone spokesperson asked to go to court Opposite netzpolitik.orgSince the DSA also controls the safety of minors on the Internet, the provisions of the Youth Media Security Treaty (JMSTV) will be inaccessible, on which the NRW media rely on the media guards. At the request of Heise Online, Vodafone did not comment on the details of the complaints.
Web barriers can be easily avoided
The LFM asks to check strict age on erotic platforms on erotic platforms, such as to protect minors from pornography on erotic platforms. It is likely to stop many users who are able to use millions of porn videos without registration and largely anonymous.
On the obligation of media supervision of Northern Rhine-Westfolia, the Commission (KJM), who eventually responsible for the Youth Media Security (KJM), initially stated in the spring in 2022 that large German access providers were to block ex-Amster porn portal. Vodafone, Duthe Telecom, 1 and 1 and Por, in this case and later implemented blockade in Pornhb and Eupourn. In such cases, however, the portals independently change the domain and they can be reached on .org. Alternatively, they can reach via VPN via foreign IPS. Kjm To cleanSuch web locks can be avoided. However, they are an additional obstruction and prevent a random and unwanted confrontation with such proposals.
European Union Commission is constructing on DSA
According to the report, Pÿur filed a lawsuit against blocked orders in Berlin. However, the provider agreed with media supervision responsible there to wait for the Daseldorf decisions. It is the same with 1 and 1: the case is cool until then. Companies get basic support from the European Union Commission. A spokesperson was assured against netzpolitik.org “measures at the European Union level are more effective for protecting minors from harmful materials on online platforms”.
According to the Representative of the Commission, the DSA provides for a clear supervisory and enforcement system. For age control, the European Union’s widespread, interofforable and data security work is currently running based on digital wallets employed. The Commission regularly discusses progress with national authorities. Pornhub recently described the number of users as quite low in association with other porn platforms. Accordingly, strict DSA rules will no longer apply to the portal. Pornhub & Company has also announced complaints against new obligations. A fundamental dispute over the rights of media guard has also resulted in a JMSTV change for porn lock.
