Aylo, the company that owns porn sites like Pornhub, YouPorn, and RedTube, is planning to suspend service in France in protest of a new law that will require porn companies to verify the age of visitors. The deadline for porn sites to implement age verification is June 7 but Pornhub will block users starting Wednesday, June 4, according to France24.
Websites will be required to verify a user’s age using a credit card or a government-issued ID document. France’s law requires porn companies to provide an option for age verification that relies on a third party, hypothetically protecting the user’s privacy. But Aylo has argued that third-party verification puts private information at risk of hacks and leaks.
What, specifically, does that mean in this context?
The French are known to protest like no other.
There’s been a meme going around America lately that we need to take some inspiration from our French cousins. But it sounds like they need to find some more of that fire themselves if this is the state of things (I’m also including the smoking ban the article mentions)
