Over 50% of boys in France access pornography monthly from age 12, according to French watchdog Arcom. The government is attempting to curb underage access but faces resistance from adult websites. In response to a French law, porn sites in the EU have been ordered to verify the ages of visitors, leading many, including Pornhub and YouPorn, to block French users. Legal actions occurred regarding the enforcement of age verification, with the Council of State supporting the government's stance. An age-verification app is being tested by several EU countries as a measure to protect minors.
More than half of all boys in France access porn sites on average every month from age 12, according to the French audiovisual watchdog Arcom.
France is struggling to prevent minors from accessing pornography as adult websites resist government efforts to enforce age restrictions.
The government ordered EU-based porn sites to verify user ages, but Pornhub and others protested by making their services unavailable in France.
The Council of State annulled a suspension against government measures intended to protect minors, emphasizing that judicial maneuvers to avoid protecting children are ineffective.
