The French government’s drive to prevent children from accessing pornographic content online is well-documented. Few disagree that widely available and openly accessible ‘tube’ sites are unsuitable for minors, but in a world where parental responsibility is considered old-fashioned, not to mention ineffective, France believes that legislation is the only way to protect the country’s children.

Don't know how to feel about this. On one hand, it's for a good cause, exposure to porn at a young age can have some pretty devastating consequences later on. The way they're going about it though, that doesn't sound too good.

It's the wrong solution to the problem. The problem isn't children going on the Internet and looking at porn, it's parents allowing their kids unsupervised access to anything they want from a young age and not giving them any actual guidance. I'd argue it's just as damaging sitting your child in front of an iPad with unrestricted YouTube/TikTok for hours on end.

Lots of parents are fucking terrible though. Yeah we can blame them but it’s unlikely they’ll stop being terrible.

I’m not sure what the solution is and I don’t like the idea of this one but there defo needs to be a few more hoops to jump through for kids to access that stuff.
