The French digital regulator Arcom has issued formal warnings to five major pornographic websites for failing to implement age verification systems, marking a preliminary step toward potential blocking of these sites in France. This action reflects ongoing regulatory efforts to prevent minors from accessing adult content online. Similar measures and challenges are observed in other regions, including the United Kingdom and the European Union, where users are increasingly required to verify their age to access certain online content. Meanwhile, in the United States, Florida has initiated legal action against prominent pornographic platforms such as XVideos and Bang Bros over age verification compliance. The implementation of online age checks has sparked debate regarding the effectiveness and privacy implications of the verification methods used.
