TuKif, which is one of the five pornographic sites to have been put on notice to block access to them by minors, decided to seize in turn the CSA, not without kicking in the huge anthill.
As a result of the law of July 30, 2020 aimed at requiring pornographic sites to set up a system requiring visitors to prove that they are not minors, five pornographic sites (PornHub, Tukif, xHamster, XNXX and Xvideos) were put on notice by the Superior council of audio-visual (CSA), last December 13, to conform to the law within 15 days, under penalty of initiating a procedure against them which could result in the blocking of the sites. Tired of the controversy, TuKif raised its tone on Tuesday and denounced nearly 2,000 other “forgotten” sites.
TuKif cries out for the “discriminatory and disproportionate” formal notice …
The TuKif porn site, one of the most viewed in France and now based in Portugal, issued a press release this afternoon, even as the deadline imposed by the formal notice expires. The site thus decided to seize, in its turn, the CSA and to inform the Authority of the competition of this referral.
TuKif denounces a formal notice ” discriminatory and disproportionate “Which, it is true, only targets 5 pornographic sites,” while sites with substantially higher traffic like YouPorn have not at this stage been subject to any action by the CSA “Plague the website.
It is therefore through the prism of injustice that TuKif tackles the formal notice of the CSA, and the site even comes to ask the audiovisual policeman to suspend the action in progress against him, so at ” avoid significant market imbalance and distortion of competition “, We read in the press release.
… And denounces 1,907 other porn sites
TuKif goes even further and denounces, in its referral, the 1,907 other sites forgotten by the CSA as part of its action. The teams of the site heavily consulted by French people (who account for 60% of the 12 to 18 million unique monthly users of TuKif.com, according to the webmaster of the site whose comments were relayed by our colleagues from NextINpact), deplore that the CSA did not bother to respond to their various requests on the subject of access to minors, the first traces of which date back to March 12, 2021.
” We sincerely wonder about the reasons which led the CSA to ignore our requests and exchanges, and to act without parsimony and primarily against us in such a context. », Adds TuKif, who is now waiting to see what the reaction of the CSA will be.
PornHub, Tukif, xHamster, XNXX and Xvideos, the five sites targeted by the formal notice, are among the 50 most visited websites in France, according to SimilarWeb.
