There are some things coming in the future and not looking so good.
At least for Germany, but maybe EU as well.
You have to translate those articles here to get an idea.

They are using an AI tool to scrape the web for porn and hate-speech and what not.
The tool is already in use. And they would like to pass it to other european countries,
so it´s not just Germany who wants to wipe porn from the web.

Looks like their goal is to gather as many violations as possible and pass it to the authorities and courts in case
site owners don´t start following the laws, like making their sites soft and implementing age verification systems etc...
I´m wondering what they do if site owners don´t add imprints / contact options on their sites.
Probably requesting de-indexing, and as always, Google is de-indexing whatever the German government wants.

I spoke to an adult webmaster collegue who is in the biz since the 90´s and he predicts that,
at least for Germany, adult content, text, images and video content, will be blocked in Germany in the coming years.
And search engines will just comply with any upcoming laws about this.
Don´t know if this will be reality, but it goes in that direction........

For sure, people should never use hosting in Germany and for sure
never ever should register domains with German registrars!
Mojo is doing that... How can you use a German domain registrar for your clients??
