German child-protection regulators are on the verge of blocking one of the world’s largest pornographic websites.

The blocking order, which may be issued in the coming weeks by the Commission for the Protection of Minors in the Media (
Kommission für Jugendmedienschutz in German, or KJM), follows a failure by xHamster to introduce age-verification checks to stop under-18s from accessing pornography. The order is the latest salvo in a two-year campaign by regulators to compel all pornographic websites accessible in Germany to implement age-verification checks.

Calls have been made for the Scottish Government to take action amid the staggering number of incidents.
Mary Glasgow, chief executive of Children 1st, said there was a “need for a national review” as too many schools “downplay or dismiss young women’s experiences of sexual harassment instead of keeping them safe”.
