We ran a story yesterday about high-risk payment processor Centrobill, a payment processor for "adult-oriented content." This was given an Orange Compliance rating on PayRate42, which Centrobill felt was an attack. We were also suspected of not having done proper research in the comments to our report. Hence, here is an update on Centrobill's subscription billing activities via Cyprus-based Eurobill Tech Ltd. We are always grateful for criticism and information.
A landmark ruling in Germany establishes that porn portals based in other European countries are also regulated by German youth protection authorities. The Higher Administrative Court (OVG) in Muenster has rejected complaints by two porn portals from Cyprus against a ban on distributing pornographic Internet offerings in Germany. In doing so, the court upheld the Administrative Court's decisions in summary proceedings in Duesseldorf. Minors evidently are a target group of the international porn industry.
