PARIS—The French government should be permitted to enforce its age verification law on all porn platforms that are based in and/or operate from a European Union member state, a non-binding legal opinion says. WebGroup and NKL responded after the French digital regulator Arcom was empowered by the country's parliament to enforce age verification regulations that were implemented in 2023. At issue is how French regulations on age checks are clashing with the rights of the parent companies of the tube sites. Szpunar determined in his opinion that the age verification SREN law could apply to other EU-based platforms so long as Brussels, the capital of the bloc, is okay with it. The case involving the parent companies of XVideos and XNXX is still before the Court of Justice, pending a final determination on the scope of France's SREN law.
