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.
Why is anyone still on X anyway? Its AI bot trash.

Leave it to the Macron government to do the right thing in the wrongest way possible.
Now this is quotable!

Its not about protecting kids, even if they say it is.
Religious nut are offended because they felt funny.

Why use age instead of a knowledge check instead?

Annoyingly many artists still use it, and for some it's their only platform they post at any regularity, except for paid posts on patreon.
I haven't used Twitter as a social media site for almost a decade now, but my "twitter only" art list still has 18 people on it. -

How would that work?

People would rather support the Nazi site than go to a platform where they'd have fewer followers. There's nothing more to it than that.

Twitter is shit, but France went really nuts.

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.

Makes sense 100%

It's not? Thought that's the main use.
I like my porn to be less faschy and more flashy.

False validation is a hell of a drug.

I think you're confusing Liberals with Leftists.
I can't remember a single self-proclaimed "Communist" nation that wasn't anti-Religion.
Tolerance of Religion comes from the Liberal political beliefs side (which many people who are also Leftwingers have) and the modern "Liberals" in places like the US and UK (which are Rightwingers) are the ones who stretch it well beyond tolerance to the point of deeming criticism of some Religions (but not others) as a bad thing, or in other words, activelly supporting certain religions and their values (which as you pointed out, tend to be Corporatist and Fascist).
In summary, Authoritarian Leftwingers tend to be anti-Religion, Liberal Leftwingers tend to tolerate Religion and "Liberal" Rightwingers at the very least defend and sometimes even support certain specific Religions (as far as I can tell, the ones supported by their local money and power elites) but not others.

Everyone should have content filtering tools. I use Adguard services for filtering my own internet (adult, Reddit, YouTube, etc.). Surely, implimenting something similar at an OS or router level would have saved us decades of pointless bickering and provided us with an actual consumer benefit?
