France is moving to classify X as a pornographic website, a designation that would place it under the country’s mandatory age verification and digital ID laws.
This step, if finalized, would force the company to either implement robust age-gating mechanisms or restrict access to adult content altogether to avoid being cut off from younger users.
It would also mean that users have to show ID to access the platform, introducing major implications for privacy and free speech.
The site formerly known as Twitter would be more respectable these days if it were a porn site.
It’s not? Thought that’s the main use.
I like my porn to be less faschy and more flashy.
Twitter is shit, but France went really nuts.
Fucking ridiculous. Might as well do the same for sites like Tumblr, Reddit, even Youtube. “Protecting” kids comes at the expense of everyone else.
Its not about protecting kids, even if they say it is.
Oh, of course not. Just the given excuse. Honestly, people being so obsessed with minors jacking off is creepy. Who cares? If it’s a problem, then the parents can deal with it.
Religious nut are offended because they felt funny.
I felt a tingle in my dingle and now I’m going to make it everyone’s problem. - pretty much every religious leader
Which is funny because it pairs so well with the agenda of the corporatists and fascists, who could give a shit about religion but would love to track you online even more.
I’m certain that religion is responsible, and has been, for nearly every conflict in the last 1500 or so years. Yet, it seems to be entirely ignored by leftists (conservatives don’t have a reasonable view) as the cause of problems.
twitter is an adult site though. i’d argue reddit is too youtube no since they do not allow explicit content
Leave it to the Macron government to do the right thing in the wrongest way possible.
I don’t really tend to keep track of foreign politics most of the time, but I’m pretty sure that Macron was groomed by his wife, which is now abusing him, and that Europe isn’t really getting better in general.
Why is anyone still on X anyway? Its AI bot trash.
This is kind of hilarious. Right wingers seek to limit privacy by forcing age verification online, and then the right wing social network gets caught in the same net. It hurt itself in it’s confusion.
Elon probably punching air rn
That’s the only thing he’s ever punched.
Why use age instead of a knowledge check instead?
How would that work?
