LUXEMBOURG—The Autorité luxembourgeoise indépendante de l'audiovisuel (ALIA), the national digital regulator for Luxembourg, announced late last month that it had fined the parent company of popular cam site LiveJasmin a total of €25,000 for age verification noncompliance.
The ALIA, which is referred to as the Luxembourg Independent Audiovisual Authority in English-speaking jurisdictions, indicates that JWS Americas and JWS International failed to enforce age-gating per Luxembourg law. JWS operates LiveJasmin in Luxembourg and across various European Union member states.
JWS and its various sister companies, such as Byborg Enterprises, are held by Docler Holding, which was founded by Hungarian billionaire György Gattyán. Docler is headquartered outside Luxembourg City, near the Grand Ducal golf club.
This is the latest fine, tacking on more penalties in an ongoing series of regulatory actions initiated against the company in August 2025. The initial investigation came in the context of ALIA being tasked with enforcing laws that "requires video-sharing platforms (hereinafter 'VSPs') to implement appropriate measures to protect minors from content that may impair their physical, mental, or moral development, notably, through the implementation of user age verification systems."
The immediate action by ALIA is for a violation of the country's Electronic Media Law and the European Union's sweeping Digital Services Act (DSA). The fine, totaling about $28,000 on current exchange rates, follows an investigation indicating that the popular adult camming platform was inconsistent with enforcement and ultimately fell short to meet local and transnational standard for users logging on from IP addresses in Luxembourg and other member states of the European Union's bloc.
According to ALIA, a parent filed a complaint with the regulator expressing "concern about the 'level of unrestricted access available on the LiveJasmin website.'" "[The parent] states that [their] son was able to access content on the platforms without having an account or subscription, even though, in [their] view was 'extremely inappropriate and deeply concerning," the regulator disclosed in its ruling.
ALIA officials allege that LiveJasmin and its associated companies failed to cooperate during the investigation that resulted in the penalty. JWS representatives argued that violations identified during the investigation were isolated breaches of content policies and that age verification measures had been standardized across EU member states.
But ALIA said that measures in other member states were not sufficient to meet the demands of the national government. Currently, as is the case for many platforms in similar regulatory situations, LiveJasmin regionalizes its age-gating measures.
ALIA explains, "The providers (JWS) have not uniformly deployed age verification systems in all [EU] member states and continue to adopt a differentiated approach based on national legal frameworks. In Austria, Belgium, Spain and the Netherlands, the providers have not implemented any age-verification system.”
