Pornhub in France, soon it ends! The Aylo Group, which has the site, but also other important sites, such as YourPorn or Redtube, announced on Tuesday, suspended access to France, tomorrow, to protest against French law in the control of age.
“We have made the difficult decision to suspend access to our sites (content platforms downloaded by users, including Pornhub, YouPorn, Redtube) in France tomorrow afternoon and to use our platforms to send us directly to the French public,” said Alex Kekesi, brand vice president and group community.
As of this Wednesday, the three platforms will show a message in their place to explain the situation to their visitors, and which has been shared in X. “His government proposes to verify his age every time he visits our site, is it crazy?
“They simply ignored us”
Among these risks, the group evokes data leaks that will occur daily. “Repeat to repeatedly provide confidential personal information, create an incompatible security risk that we refuse to impose on our users,” said the group.
This blockade occurs when the Pornhub, Redtube and YouPorn parent company had a three -month period, since March 6, to establish a “efficient” age verification solution. This is to prevent minors from accessing their content. A restriction that had quickly played, claiming that “the way in which many laws in the world have implemented this verification is ineffective, dangerous and dangerous.”
In his message transmitted tomorrow, Aylo criticizes the French government for not having collaborated with him to “find a more intelligent and safer way to prevent minors from accessing the content of these platforms.
It also believes that this mandatory age control will divert users to other sites that “deliberately omit regulations” and do not verify the age of people who appear in their content.
“Bye bye”
The government quickly reacted to Aylo’s decision. “Protect Minors is our commitment, our responsibility.
A statement that comes a day after you have Remembered to order social networks Regarding the moderation of violent content.
“Lying when you do not want to respect the law and take hostage is unacceptable (…) Ask the pornographic sites to verify the age of its users is not stigmatizing adults, but protect children well. Others have done so. If you prefer to leave France that to apply our law, free,” said Clara Chappaz, minister responsible for the digital one.
