Blocking of pornographic sites: the State Council rejects the appeals of sites against Arcom

Pornhub, Xvideos and Xnxx, which had appealed to the Council of State to challenge a formal notice from Arcom, were dismissed by the highest administrative court.

New twist in the file that opposes the media regulator, the French public authority for the regulation of audiovisual and digital communication (Arcom, ex-CSA), to various pornographic sites. The Council of State rejected, this Tuesday, November 29, the appeals made by Pornhub, Xvideos and Xnxx against Arcom, according to the L’Informé site and RTL journalist Benjamin Hue. “The follow-up on this file, therefore, is now only in the hands of the judicial judge,” Arcom said in its decision.

This decision follows the summons issued at the beginning of 2021 by Arcom against these platforms called, in vain, since December to prevent access by minors to its contents.

Given the lack of reaction from these sites, Arcom had asked the court to order their blocking by the operators. Pornographic sites, in particular Pornhub, reacted on October 4, 2022 by transmitting a priority question of constitutionality to the Court of Cassation.

The law of July 30, 2020 establishes that a simple declaration of majority is no longer enough to access pornographic sites and that age verification is necessary, but without specifying the process.
