France Moves to Classify X as an Adult Site Amid Digital ID Crackdown (reclaimthenet.org)

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.

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.
