If Labor is really serious about the end goal of protecting Australian children from harmful content online, it is pretty hard to understand why banning social media sites matters but allowing free accessibility to Pornhub is fine and dandy.
The EU has used the law to crack down on Elon Musk's social media platform X, previously known as Twitter, by opening an investigation on Monday into whether it failed to do enough to stop the spread of illegal content such as hate speech or incitement of terrorism.
"This deferred prosecution agreement holds the parent company of Pornhub.com accountable for its role in hosting videos and accepting payments from criminal actors who coerced young women into engaging in sexual acts on videos that were posted without their consent," US Attorney Breon Peace said.
Perhaps it doesn't want to protect Australian children from harmful pornography - by tightening age restrictions to involve more than clicking a button to confirm you're over 18 - because doing so will cause ructions in sections of the left.
The DSA kicked in for the biggest online platforms in August. The requirements also include carrying out risk assessments, giving researchers access to publicly available data and filing regular transparency reports.
Under the agreement, an independent monitor will be appointed for a period of three years to ensure compliance with the terms of the deal and Aylo will make a $1.8 million payment to the United States, it said.

Under a deferred prosecution agreement, the U.S. Attorney's office in Brooklyn charged Montreal-based Aylo Holdings, formerly known as MindGeek, with one count of engaging in unlawful monetary transactions involving sex trafficking proceeds.
