Major Porn Sites Block Access in France in Protest of Age Verification Law
In a significant move, leading pornographic websites including Pornhub, YouPorn, and RedTube have suspended their services in France in response to new age verification requirements imposed by the government. These changes, aimed at making it more difficult for minors to access adult content, have sparked widespread debate and prompted a coalition of adult entertainment companies to black out their sites across the country. The situation is further complicated by ongoing scrutiny from the European Union regarding these regulations. As a result, French users will find themselves unable to access major porn platforms starting Wednesday, highlighting the clash between government legislation and digital content providers.
