Origin

2026 - Third part-session

In the draft resolution, after paragraph 16.2, insert the following paragraph:

"require online platforms hosting pornographic or sexually explicit content to prevent private individuals from uploading such content and to put in place effective systems to verify the age and consent of the individuals appearing in the content the platforms host;"

Explanatory note

The ability of 'private individuals' to upload pornographic content to platforms increases the likelihood of more unaccountable actions, including the involvement of underage persons in the content in question.
