France to block access to pornography websites for minors
Monday 6 February 2023 - 22:30

France is attempting to block access to pornography sites for minors, effectively obligating the websites to control the age of their users starting November, French digital minister Jean-Noel Barrot said on Monday.

To access these websites, people in France will need to install a government application for licensed digital certification on their phones, to prove that they are at least 18 years old.

Websites that refuse to comply will risk being banned in France.
