France Blocks Access to Porn Sites: When the State Decides What You Can Watch!
Did you know that since July 15, people in France can no longer access popular porn sites like Juporn, Pornhub, and Redtube? No, it’s not a technical glitch — it’s a government decision! The French Council of State reinstated strict age verification measures for these sites.
What exactly happened?
The owners of these popular Canadian porn platforms, in protest, voluntarily blocked access to users from France. When you try to visit, you’ll see a message: “Suspended in France since July 15.” So no sneaking in by accident.
Why such a harsh move?
France wants to protect minors from accessing pornography. The idea is to enforce mandatory age verification when entering these sites. But instead of handling it smartly, the sites decided to shut the doors on all French users.
Is this effective?
The big question is whether this measure will actually help. The internet is full of ways to bypass such blocks, so will young people really be protected or just frustrated?
What do the French say?
Some think this is overkill and that the state is over-controlling citizens’ privacy. Others support protecting children but criticize how it’s been implemented.
Bottom line
France took a big step in controlling access to porn, but is it the right step or just another example of government overreach?
