Age verification for adult sites comes into force in France

2025-04-14  Per Henrikson

Under the law, platforms must now offer users multiple ways to prove their age, with at least one method using ‘double-blind’ technology. The requirement, enforced by the French broadcasting and digital regulator Arcom, applies to all websites accessible in France, regardless of where they are hosted. The law is part of the broader Sécurité et régulation de l’espace numérique(SREN) framework, designed to strengthen online safety, particularly for minors.
