French Bill Under Debate to Regulate Online Adult Entertainment Platforms
What happened
A proposed national bill in the French Republic aims to combat gender-based and sexual violence and could significantly expand online procurement measures. The legislation, which has around 69 articles, is championed by a team of feminist lawmakers led by Céline Thiébault-Martinez, MP. Article 25 of the bill explicitly targets online platforms by criminalizing 'helping, assisting, or protecting the remote performance by a person... of acts of a sexual nature in exchange for payment.'

Why it matters
The bill introduces potential liabilities for those who operate or are involved with online adult content businesses. Intermediaries could face prison time and a fine of up to €500,000, while consumers who violate the law could face fines up to €1,500.
Lawmakers are currently debating a social media ban bill, reviewing its compatibility with EU law.
