In January, France initiated regulations that mandated age verification for pornographic websites, initially targeting those outside the EU. A recent decree has now extended these rules to include EU-based companies like PornHub and YouPorn. This legislation aims to prevent minors from accessing pornographic content, addressing long-standing concerns regarding child exposure to explicit material. While age checks can involve credit card verification or identity document submission, the law requires a privacy-protecting method to confirm user age. However, the company behind Pornhub has raised concerns about the efficacy and potential risks related to user privacy in this approach.
France's recent age verification laws aim to protect minors by requiring websites to implement user age checks, balancing child safety and adult privacy rights.
The ultimate goal of the new measures is to block minors from accessing popular porn sites, marking a significant advance in child protection efforts in France.
