Porn blockade begins: Pornhub, YouPorn, RedTube closed to French users

 

Three major porn websites, Pornhub, YouPorn and RedTube have suspended access to their websites to users based in France on Wednesday. 

"Access to our site in France is suspended from 4 June 2025," the message reads in French on the homepage of the three pornographic websites.

The French government is asking the websites to use age verification systems on these platforms. "It's crazy, right?," the message reads.

It doesn't protect minors - but on the contrary, it endangers everyone's privacy and puts children at risk," the statement adds. (...)
