French without Pornhuba. The service broke his teeth on age verification

Pornhub, Redtube and YouPorn blocked in France. Aylo, the owner of a number of pornographic pages, thus wants to express his opposition to forcing him to verify the age of visitors. On Saturday, June 7, there are regulations imposing the obligation to verify adults through ID cards or credit cards.

AlyofreeSite, like other pornographic platforms, must introduce a number of solutions that are to prevent children and young people from accessing inappropriate content until Saturday, June 7.

“French law is dangerous, potentially violating privacy, and above all ineffective,” Solomon Friedman, a partner at Ethical Capital Partners, who owns Aylo at the Tuesday press conference cited by “Politico”.

For this port Aylo “checked” the age of users at the device level. In practice, entering the adventure declared that he was of legal age and the entire service with various pornographic content was open to him. This is to change from Saturday. Pornographic pages will have to verify age using the identity document issued by the government or credit card, using the help of an external company. The viewer will have to confirm her age with her and then be redirected to the service. Pornhub and other pornographic pages will not receive access to users' personal data (they will remain anonymous), and the external company controlling the dates of birth will not know the reason for this verification.

– We are willing to cooperate with operating systems manufacturers, applications and other technological partners to ensure that only adults have access to the platform. It is not that we do not want to take responsibility – he noted Friedman.

The point is that you need to block access to the source – he added, i.e. he would like this control to be performed at the level of the device that the viewer uses, not a website.

It is not known how long pornographic services are to be closed to French users. Aylo did not provide a specific date. Instead of materials containing nudity, the French will be able to read a message regarding the reasons for disabling the website.

The French minister of digitization Clara Chappaz, Ripuska, Ripusian platform, accusing the company of a lie. “When someone wants to follow the law, they cannot keep others as hostages. Adults can freely consume pornography, but not at the expense of our children,” she wrote. “If Aylo prefers to leave France than to apply our law, he can do it” – he adds.

Not only on the Seine they introduce regulations to protect minors. The European Union is working on similar age verification.

As the statistics run by Pornhub show, only Americans are more likely to release materials on this website from the French. Behind them are the Philippines, Mexico and Great Britain. The data shows that 12 percent French website users are underage (about 2.3 million children and adolescents visit it every month).
