BRASILIA, Brazil — Brazil’s National Data Protection Authority (ANPD) has begun monitoring 18 high-traffic adult websites to assess compliance with the country’s Digital Statute for Children and Adolescents (Digital ECA), which requires age-verification measures for users accessing adult content from within Brazil.
In a statement released Friday, the agency said the purpose of this initial monitoring stage is to determine whether website operators are implementing safeguards designed to prevent access by children and adolescents. The ANPD also said it is gathering information and data that will help guide future regulatory decisions.
Formal enforcement measures are not expected to begin until January, provided the agency follows the timeline it previously announced.
According to the statement, the 18 websites selected for monitoring account for approximately 98% of adult-content web traffic in Brazil. The sites include tube platforms, creator subscription services, a webcam platform and two escort advertising websites:

Earlier this month, the ANPD also introduced a public complaints portal that allows citizens to report potential violations of the Digital ECA. The reporting system is intended to help the agency identify possible cases of noncompliance as it continues preparing for the enforcement phase scheduled for next year.
