The age control for accessing pornographic content put in place by the French government will also concern Twitter, announced Jean-Noël Barrot, Minister Delegate in charge of the Digital Transition and Telecommunications.
Aiming to prevent minors from accessing pornographic content that abounds on the Web, this measure will begin to be tested at the end of March.
” As soon as there are pornographic images »
Unlike other social networks, Twitter allows consensual pornographic content, while its use is possible from the age of 13. This implies that the platform will be subject to the same rules as porn sites like YouPorn or Pornhub.
” As soon as there are pornographic images that are broadcast on a platform, whether it’s called Twitter or Pornhub, age verification will apply “, affirmed Jean-Noël Barrot at the microphone of KOOL Mag.
The government promises anonymity to adult users
Currently, most porn sites only offer a one- or two-click barrier to control the age of users. From March, it will be necessary to provide a certificate of majority to these platforms. The government promises anonymity to adult Internet users who submit this certificate through an online application or service that will act as an intermediary to guarantee to the porn site that they are of the age required to access it.
” Whoever provides the certificate of majority does not know what it will be used for. It can be a telecom operator, a digital identity provider or any other organization likely to attest to the majority of a person. And the site on which the certificate is used does not know the identity of the person. This is the principle of double anonymity “, explained the minister during a speech on February 15.
Twitter has already suffered a lot of criticism for the content it hosts. The platform would indeed have difficulty detecting child pornography content, which would have worsened since the arrival of Musk. The billionaire has indeed dismissed more than half of the staff of the social network.
