French Porn Sites Blocked: Delacroix Replaces X-Rated Content Amid Age Verification Row

France's new age verification law for pornographic websites has sparked a controversy. Pornhub, YouPorn, and RedTube, owned by Aylo, are now inaccessible in France. Aylo is protesting the law, claiming it's an infringement on privacy. Instead of pornographic content, users see a painting by Eugène Delacroix. The company argues that the required age verification methods are intrusive and pose security risks. The French government maintains that the law is necessary to protect minors. Similar situations have occurred in 17 US states. The debate highlights the complex issues surrounding online content regulation and user privacy.
