Paragraph 4 a (new)
4a. Calls on the Commission to establish measures to require platforms and hosting service providers to prevent minors from accessing pornographic and child-pornography content; recalls that such content, which is very often available through open access, is capable of profoundly destabilising the younger generation as they discover their emotions and their sexuality; stresses that a significant proportion of online pornographic content contains sexist stereotypes that are often seriously prejudicial to women’s dignity, or even help to trivialise scenes of abuse or violence; stresses therefore that defending women’s rights and combating gender- based and sexual violence requires resolute action to prevent minors from being exposed to such content by effective technological means; recalls the need to establish ambitious rules to this end applicable to internet service providers, and the importance of greater cooperation at European level to permit rapid identification of the authors of illegal content;
