New bill would allow the regulator to block access to porn websites without the involvement of a judge.

The French government wants to give new powers to its media regulator to block adult websites that don't comply with age verification requirements, according to a report in NextInpact, confirmed by POLITICO.
Under the draft new rules, laid out in a tech bill to be presented next week, the regulator for audiovisual and digital communication, Arcom, would no longer need judicial approval to force telecoms operators and search engines to block access to Pornhub or YouPorn in the country, a French government official confirmed.
Fucking over. Imagine having to send the government your ID or something every time you want to watch Reality Kings' new video or some other porn. Boner killer like nothing else knowing that some nameless, random bureaucrats will know exactly not only what you're watching,but also who you are and where you live.For almost three years, Paris and the porn industry have squabbled over how to verify porn users' age. In 2020, France was one of the first countries to force adult websites to block online access to minors, but the measure has had limited success. Porn companies including Pornhub have defended themselves before French courts, arguing the text cannot be implemented technically and puts privacy at risk.
